What’s on offer?

We know there are hidden monsters in mobile phones, and this workshop aims
to creatively bring them out, give them shape to talk about them and
reflect on our fears and joys around mobile use.

We will be making small sculptures of a mobile phone using wire,
paper and foam clay with a mobile monster coming out of it – whatever
that may be for you. As we make them the facilitators will participate in
conversations about the use and misuse of mobile phones.

What’s it about?

Our event wishes to create awareness of the use, dangers and concerns of smartphone usage in families and among young adults. By creating clay 'Mobile with Monsters", attendants can physically interpret, discuss and concretise what sorts of 'monsters' phones have inside them. This creative exercise encourages meaningful discussions, helping you to identify and understand the potential negative effects of smartphone use in a tangible, impactful way.
