4. The Impact of Media and Technology on Parenting, December 1, 2006
This conference – The Impact of Media and Technology on Parenting: What's our Role as Educators and Family Practitioners? – will offer important new information to help family professionals use media and technology wisely in their work with families. There are rapid changes in technology and the media influences of reality TV; this conference will explore the pros and cons of each as well as the growing dependence on it in our daily life. Discussion will focus on the new framework a digital world offers families as we learn to use technology's promise in our work with families and limit the growing divide its access creates for those without resources to acquire it.

6. Minnesota held its first-ever Men Can Make a Difference Conference
Minnesota held its first-ever Men Can Make a Difference conference as part of a statewide effort to engage men in the prevention of sexual violence. This conference was a collaborative effort organized by the Gender Violence Institute, Men as Peacemakers and the MN Department of Health and co-sponsored by the MN Indian Women’s Sexual Assault Coalition, the MN Coalition Against Sexual Assault, and the MN Coalition for Battered Women.
On October 13-14, 2006, men from across Minnesota gathered at Cragun’s Resort in Brainerd, Minnesota, to demonstrate their interest in ending sexual violence. Victims of sexual violence are mostly women, children and youth, and those who perpetrate sexual violence are almost exclusively male. A central goal of the conference was to advance the Minnesota Men’s Action Network, an alliance of 500 men working to build environments of sexual integrity and respect, in order to prevent sexual violence.
The conference goals
- Examine the unique opportunity and responsibility for men to assist in the prevention of sexual violence
- Provide information and increase men’s ability to become involved in preventing sexual violence before it occurs
- Provide tools for local and statewide organizing efforts
Participants left this conference with tools to use to prevent sexual violence and develop communities in which relationships are safe, healthy, and mutually respectful. The conference keynote speakers were Jackson Katz and Tony Porter.
Breakout sessions
Tony Porter – A Call To Men, New York, NY
Tim Wright – Project Pathfinder, St. Paul, MN
Jeremy Nevilles-Sorrell – Mending the Sacred Hoop, Duluth, MN
Steve O’Neil – St. Louis County Commissioner, Duluth, MN
