Thank you to everyone who assisted AMPA Talk about the topic Smartphone and mental health last Friday.

As mentioned at the beginning of the talk, the initial idea of speakers was to organise this talk to the secondary school pupils during school hours. However, the decision of the education council held on 5th March was that the event should be organised after the school hours. As many pupils have extracurricular activities in the afternoons, and therefore could not attend the talk, we are happy to share the presentations with you, hoping it helps you to reflect on this topic together with your children. 

From the AMPA MC we will continue collaborating with the school and families, contributing to the well-being of our children. Please let us know (info@ampaescuelaeuropea.com) any topic you find interesting to organise the next AMPA Talk.
