Time: 4:00 PM | Location: King Library Library - Children’s Exploration Room, Mezzanine
With the rise of social media and influencers, consumerism has especially increased for children. In this interactive workshop geared toward students in Grades 3-5, we will explore the social, economic, and environmental impacts of consumerism. Through interactive games and a mini-debate, students will step into the shoes of different people in the cycle of a product: the shopper, worker, and the Earth. By the end, students will understand what consumerism is and identify simple, everyday actions they can take to reduce its negative impacts. The workshop will end with students creating a “Wanted” poster that teaches others about the harms of materialism by focusing on the impacts of a specific company or trendy product, and advocates for more mindful, responsible choices. This program is offered by Policy Rewired, a nonprofit organization that helps communities understand the systems that affect them and take action for change. Free. Registration is required. This series is taught in English only. ADA Accommodation Requests ¿Lo Compras o Lo Dejas? Martes, 14 de abril de 2026 4–6 PM Con el aumento de las redes sociales y los influencers, el consumismo ha crecido especialmente entre los niños. En este taller interactivo dirigido a estudiantes de 3.º a 5.º grado, exploraremos los impactos sociales, económicos y ambientales del consumismo. A través de juegos interactivos y un mini debate, los estudiantes se pondrán en el lugar de diferentes personas dentro del ciclo de un producto: el comprador, el trabajador y la Tierra. Al final, los estudiantes comprenderán qué es el consumismo e identificarán acciones simples y cotidianas que pueden tomar para reducir sus impactos negativos. El taller concluirá con la creación de un cartel de “Se Busca”, donde los estudiantes enseñarán a otros sobre los daños del materialismo, enfocándose en los impactos de una empresa específica o un producto de moda, y promoverán decisiones más conscientes y responsables. Este programa es ofrecido por Policy Rewired, una organización sin fines de lucro que ayuda a las comunidades a comprender los sistemas que las afectan y a tomar acción para lograr cambios. Gratis.

Thứ Ba, ngày 14 tháng 4 năm 2026 4:00 – 6:00 chiều Cùng với sự bùng nổ của mạng xã hội và những người có sức ảnh hưởng (influencers), chủ nghĩa tiêu dùng đã gia tăng mạnh mẽ, đặc biệt là trong giới trẻ. Trong buổi hội thảo tương tác này—được thiết kế dành riêng cho học sinh từ lớp 3 đến lớp 5—chúng ta sẽ cùng khám phá những tác động về mặt xã hội, kinh tế và môi trường của chủ nghĩa tiêu dùng. Thông qua các trò chơi tương tác và một phiên tranh biện nhỏ, các em học sinh sẽ được hóa thân vào vai những nhân vật khác nhau trong vòng đời của một sản phẩm: người mua hàng, người lao động và chính Trái Đất. Khi kết thúc chương trình, các em sẽ hiểu rõ bản chất của chủ nghĩa tiêu dùng, đồng thời nhận diện được những hành động đơn giản, thiết thực mà mình có thể thực hiện ngay trong đời sống hàng ngày để giảm thiểu những tác động tiêu cực của nó. Buổi hội thảo sẽ khép lại bằng hoạt động thiết kế một tấm áp phích kiểu “Truy nã” (Wanted), nhằm giúp mọi người nhận thức rõ hơn về những hệ lụy của chủ nghĩa vật chất—thông qua việc tập trung phân tích tác động của một công ty cụ thể hoặc một sản phẩm đang thịnh hành—đồng thời kêu gọi mọi người cùng hướng tới những lựa chọn tiêu dùng tỉnh thức và có trách nhiệm hơn.
