SeeMe:Tackling Body Image Issues

http://seeme.org.au/

Body image is an important issue for our society and the  Queen Victoria Womens' Centre has recently  developed a fantastic online  resource  called SeeMe. It is designed to empower young people in relation to body imagery in the media. Although it is aimed primarily at  Year 8 English classes  it could easily be used in  PD activities or other levels as well.. It contains five modules that include:
  • body image
  • fashion and cosmetics
  • gender stereotyping
  • healthy lifestyle choices
  • ethics in advertising
The modules include quizzes, image analysis and opportunities for discussion and creativity.
