Spurlock visitors of all ages will enjoy this special event designed to complement the traveling exhibit Children Just Like Me by focusing on a variety of the community resources available to children, families, and educators in the Champaign-Urbana area. Join us to… spend time with the children featured in the exhibit and explore the hands-on learning environments they introduce, …enjoy games, music, and craft activities from cultures far and wide, …view a series of films documenting the wide-ranging conditions under which children around the world receive or struggle to receive a basic education, and …talk with representatives of various community service and resource organizations that focus on the family, early childhood, education, and public health and welfare.

The film screenings are part of the 2008-09 Asian Educational Media Service Documentary and Independent Film Series
