Conference on video games - Les jeudis de l'UM

Video games: adopt the right reflexes to avoid parent-child conflicts
Thursday, November 30, 2017 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Institut de Botanique, Charles Flahault amphitheatre

Conference led by Antoine Chollet, Senior Lecturer in the IT department of the Montpellier IUT (University of Montpellier) and member of the Montpellier Research Management (MRM) laboratory, within the Information Systems group.
The aim of this public conference is to discuss the abusive use of video games and the taboos surrounding this practice (abuse, violence and isolation).
The aim is to examine the questions parents and children may have about playing video games.
Suggestions are put forward for adopting the right behaviors and reflexes: for children, to make them more aware of their own passion, and for parents, to help them understand this sometimes little-known hobby. The aim is to suggest ways of re-establishing communication and contact between parents and children in this popular pastime, which can sometimes conceal some wonderful surprises.
