This workshop has been developed to target our girls while they are forming views around their appearance and body. This workshop tackles many topics around body image but most importantly looks at the influence society and the media have on shaping our views around appearance. We will educate your daughter around this and break any myths that exist around the 'perfect' people we see in the media by looking at editing and airbrushing. We will normalise and celebrate diversity by looking at different appearance, body shapes and sizes. We will also help them to appreciate their bodies AND understand that their appearance is such a small part of who they are!!! Workshop Details: Saturday 17th May 1pm - 4pm Kawana Forest Meeting Place Register via the Website.
