2pm – Session One – Engaging Popular Music
Learning the impact, developing critical-thinking, and understanding the variety of responses we can choose.
Songs found within all of popular music can be a helpful way to learn more about God, ourselves, and the world around us. Songs can also have negative impacts on our thoughts, emotions and behaviours. Christians have several choices on how to respond to popular music. Through his interactive presentation, Micah encourages participants to think critically, and ask questions about the music itself as well as their own listening habits.
4pm – Session Two – The Mirror of Popular Music
Using songs to engage in meaningful conversations around important topics such as gender-based violence, race, and mental health.
This presentation will explore how popular music can be a catalyst for youth to engage in challenging conversations such as gender-based violence, race, and mental health. Participants will walk away with a greater understanding of the connection of popular music to cultural issues as well as tools to continue valuable conversations in their churches, families, and youth groups.
