Research has shown that girls and boys learn about body image and beauty ideals from a very early age, and consequently often struggle to build a healthy self-esteem.
BodyThink is a specially created workshop for school aged children (11-14 yrs) to help them grow up with an informed, balanced viewpoint. This includes putting the beauty world in perspective; understanding and dealing with feelings about their physical appearance as well as how "ideal" images of beauty are created.
The workshop materials include a booklet with facilitation notes, surprising facts, activity cards and a DVD that investigates the photographic and filming trickery used to create 'perfect' images.
BodyThink is available to teachers and community professionals via attendance at a ½ day training run by The Butterfly Foundation. Attendee's can then use the Bodythink resources to inspire the young people they work with to improve their body image and self esteem.
