Screenology

Film and story have long been used as a form of therapy, as a way of helping people find solutions to their own problems, while identifying with a fictional character. Often know as cinema therapy, reel therapy or narrative therapy.

For me it is much more than that.

While they can certainly help us heal, I also think films can let us into the psyche of the current culture, encourage us to open up deeper and meaningful conversations, have us challenge societal norms and give us an approachable way to have important discussions with young people.

And that is what The Screenology Club aims to do; start meaningful discussions with youths using film and story as the vehicle.

We join together in a Facebook group

Each month we watch a film, a film that Sarah feels is an important one for this generation.
We then get together online via a webinar and discuss how this film can be used with young people whether you are a parent, youth worker, teacher or coach.
Sarah sends you her Screenology pack (which will be a pdf) about this film with suggested ways to use it.
