REAL CONVERSATIONS ABOUT SELF-WORTH AND SOCIAL MEDIA

REAL CONVERSATIONS ABOUT SELF-WORTH AND SOCIAL MEDIA

Loodor produces school tours to address mental health, social media, and what connection means in a modern world. As social media use among teens has risen to 95%, so have reports of anxiety, depression, and suicide.  The second leading cause of death among adolescents is self-harm/suicide.

Through general assembly presentations, bestselling author Summer Nilsson uses books from the Loodor Tales Series to engage students in discussions regarding comments, cyberbullying, and the power of words.

In Spring 2024, author Summer Nilsson embarked on a Texas School Tour to address self-worth, empathy, and kindness. Summer shared her own experiences with social anxiety and imposter syndrome, as well as her background with a 25-year career in national media, marketing, and storytelling.

We all seek connection, but what does it mean to SEEK? Through school tours and curriculum, we shape discussions regarding Self-worth, Existence, Empathy, and Kindness. Students must understand the long-term ramifications of their digital footprint. Inspired by the HOO Game in The Land of the Pines, we use characters from the book series to pose the question, "HOO Are You?".

The Loodor Tales follows Grey the Kitten on her journey to discover who she is and how she can help others. Grey represents the balance of becoming your best self while striving to achieve collective success. Words can build things or break them.
