In our days, with constant flow of information from media, it is easy to accept proposed ideas and ideals, without putting much attention on how one truly feels – about oneself, first of all. This especially affects young girls, for whom the idea of ‘looking beautiful’ becomes dominant, especially in emotionally turbulent puberty period, when their bodies undergo important changes. Affected by photoshopped and idealized media products, girls end up seeing their bodies more an enemy than a friend, which may end up in a number of physical and psychological issues. The main aim of this project is to empower young girls (15-19 y.o.) through giving them an opportunity of focusing deeply on themselves, on their feelings and emotions, as well as to become more aware of their bodies, to raise their confidence and self-esteem. We will encourage the teenage girls to challenge the beauty standards and media ideals, at the same time giving them tools to learn to feel comfortable in their own bodies, with their appearance, as well as with their own emotions and feelings. Having a safe space to share and discuss their thoughts and feelings can have an important and empowering effect on the girls, raise their self-esteem, help them to accept the unstable puberty period as a part of growth, and to seek possible solutions to common problems at this age. Objectives: - to debunk the idea of ‘beauty standards’, developing ideas about dealing with pressure to ‘fit in’, which girls suffer from; - to teach girls how to assess media products critically as well as to understand that realistic image of a woman may differ significantly; - to create a safe space for to girls to explore themselves and connect with own emotions, to share their feelings, wishes, problems, and seek for possible solutions together - to raise awareness of our identities through reflecting on our feelings, aspirations, ideals and hobbies - to share experience and knowledge on feminist scene and available support in each country - to discuss the concept of ‘inner beauty’ and to promote giving more importance on feelings in and with body, as opposed to looks - to stimulate the creativity, vulnerability, compassion and confidence of the participants. - to provide the girls with tools of self-empowerment for facing such troubles in the future, for improving attitude towards themselves and their bodies in emotionally turbulent times; - to discover new cultures through traditional activities and cuisine - to experience non-formal learning through methods of hiking, discussions, teamwork, artwork, meditations and physical activities.
