"Where Do the Children Play?" documentary screening and discussion

7:00 PM - 9:00 PM

At TEMPLE BETH-EL

Join a free public screening of “Where Do the Children Play?,” a provocative documentary that examines an issue of growing concern among pediatricians, mental health experts, educators and environmentalists: more children are growing up with few opportunities for unstructured play, especially outdoors. An audience discussion will follow, led by Museum director Janice O'Donnell and other panelists. The film will be shown at TEMPLE BETH-EL, 70 Orchard Avenue, Providence, RI 02906.

For more information, contact Megan Fischer at fischer@childrenmuseum.org or (401) 273-5437 ext. 126.

Presented by Jewish Community Day School of RI, Providence Children’s Museum and Temple Beth-El, with assistance from Michigan Television.

There will be an additional screening and discussion on Tuesday, March 30, 7:00 - 9:00 PM at URI's KINGSTON CAMPUS.
