Dove Free Being Me  (Girls all ages)
This program is designed to give the girls a chance to stop and reflect on the world around them, and the influence it has on the way they think about themselves and other people. They will discover that their society – through the media, and those they spend time with – encourages them to try to look like a very narrow definition of beauty. They’ll find out the downsides of trying to look like this ‘Image Myth’ – and discover that it’s actually impossible; even celebrities and models are airbrushed! Participants are empowered to speak out and challenge the Image Myth in lots of different ways, boosting their body confidence and having fun at the same time. Finally, Free Being Me challenges participants to take the lead by taking action in their community, sharing what they have learned with their peers.
