Special Performance of Generation FOMO
Tuesday 8 July 2025
17:45 – 20:15
The University of Kent is hosting a special performance of the ground-breaking Verbatim production ‘Generation FOMO’ especially for school Headteachers, SLT, or delegated staff in the region, on the evening of Tuesday 8 July 2025.
Generation FOMO, devised by University of Kent Artists in Residence Portrait Theatre, has been touring schools in the county, co-funded by the University of Kent and KCC, and created from authentic interviews with young people aged 11-25 about their relationships to phones and social media.
The play has been paired with ‘The Social Experiment’, a piece of ongoing research led by Dr Lindsay Cameron in our School of Psychology, designed as a springboard for conversations between young people and their parents/carers and teachers about smartphone use. The Verbatim piece and corresponding research has been getting press attention too, including a Channel 4 News feature.
How can we as educators become more aware of the online world young people are navigating?
This will be followed by a panel Q&A hosted by our Acting Vice Chancellor Georgina Randsley de Moura.
RSVP by Friday 27 June. Full venue and parking details to follow.
