FREE CONFIDENT ME WORKSHOP

Confident Me Girls Night!

Did you know that placing a high value on appearance has been shown to decrease a girl’s focus and concentration in school?  Due to the constant exposure of unrealistic images that fill our days, girls may be learning to prioritize certain appearance related “rewards” over academic and accomplishment related rewards. In addition to this, damage is being done to girl’s body image and self-esteem.  What can you do to help?  

 

 

In conjunction with Plan International, GLOW is pleased to be offering a free virtual Confident Me Workshop for girls ages 9-14 years old.

 

Confident Me is an online interactive one hour workshop that will get girls thinking and talking about body confidence and self-esteem.  In addition, it introduces them to the concept of media literacy, and gives them the tools to combat unhealthy, unrealistic messaging through critical thinking.  

 

How a girl feels about her appearance affects all areas of her life - her self esteem, her education, her relationships, and her decisions. 

 

Interested in having one of our team members facilitate a workshop with your group of youth? Workshops are designed for young people of all gender identities residing in Canada, especially between the ages of 10–14 years old. In each interactive workshop, young people will discuss topics such as self-esteem, body confidence, appearance pressures and ideals and learn how to use socialmedia in a positive way.

 

Recommended group size is from 15–40 youth. If would like to schedule a workshop for your youth or would like to explore other collaborative opportunities, please contact us directly.
