Can We Compete with TikTok and YouTube for Our Children’s Attention — and Actually Win?

The world is changing, yet traditional education continues to offer today’s children much the same classroom-based system. And it’s becoming increasingly difficult for schools to compete with the colourful, fast-paced world of gadgets, social media, video games, and other digital distractions — inevitably affecting how children learn.

This challenge is especially familiar to families living abroad: Polish schools, English-language programmes, maintaining the mother tongue, extracurricular activities, homework — and the constant feeling that, despite all these efforts, your child is still drawn back to a screen.

In this interactive lecture, we’ll explore how to harness the power of play, storytelling, and curiosity — not as distractions from learning, but as powerful tools for it.

What We'll Explore

🍂 Why schools are facing an attention crisis — and what parents can do about it right now.

🍂 How storytelling and game-based learning help children absorb knowledge more naturally and deeply.

🍂 How to spark a child's interest in learning without constant pressure or conflict.

🍂 How Lev Vygotsky’s ideas can help children move from adult guidance towards independent learning.

🍂 An interactive finale: exploring real-life cases or taking part in a live experiment with the audience.
