Every young person deserves to feel confident. But in Ireland, 87% of girls have low self-esteem – higher than the global average – while a third of boys are dissatisfied with the way their body looks. And more than half of Irish girls say that feeling insecure about their appearance impacts their education.
Dove have teamed up with education experts to create a wide range of ready-to-teach, SPHE and PE lessons for delivery in primary and post-primary schools across the Republic of Ireland. All resources link into all aspects of the Social, Personal, and Health Education curriculum.
NEW Body Confident Sport Programme (ages 11-17)
Body Confident Sport is a programme developed by Dove and Nike to help girls build body confidence and make sports a place where girls can feel like they belong. The content has been designed in partnership with the Tucker Center for Research on Girls & Women in Sport and the Center for Appearance Research.
Designed for girls aged 11-17, the ‘Body Confident Athlete’ resources educate students on harmful gender stereotypes, appearance and athletic ideals, and how these can negatively impact their sports experience. The programme can be delivered by teachers and coaches, either as part of PE or SPHE lessons, or after-school clubs.
The programme includes:
- 3x Body Confident Athlete Sessions : Three 60-minute lessons to help athletes understand how body talk can reinforce stereotypes and impact their sporting experience.
- Programme Delivery Guide
- Athletes’ Activity Workbook
- Presentation PPT with videos
To access more information about the programme, including how-to videos, head to the Body Confident Sport website: https://www.bodyconfidentsport.com/
“These workshops offer teachers lots of fun and positive resources to engage students in issues relevant to growing up in today’s society such as body image, self-esteem, and the media. They are ideal for use as part of the SPHE and Wellbeing curriculum. There is also a resource specifically for parents that offers guidance on the role that they can play.” – Teacher, Dublin
Confident Me Resources (ages 10-16)
The programme includes:
Confident Me (5-lesson-pack)
Five x 50-minute lessons on appearance ideals, media messages, body comparisons, body talk and how to become a body confidence champion.
Confident Me (single lesson)
One x 50-minute lesson on appearance pressures, body comparisons, challenging appearance ideals and building body confidence. The single lesson includes one teacher guide with a plan for the session, one PPT slide deck and worksheets.
Running alongside the programmes are a series of take home resources for adults. These include the Dove Confidence Kit and 5 Mini Lessons.
Plus, check out the BRAND-NEW Content Map and Teacher Calendar, helping you to keep track of the key teaching moments across the school year.
All resources can be delivered flexibly within health education lessons, during tutor time or even as part of an assembly. Each lesson includes a teacher guide with a lesson plan, PPT slide deck, videos and activity sheets.
Confident Me has easy-to-use and engaging lessons in which students will learn to:
- Examine the impact of unrealistic expectations for body image and unhealthy or obsessive comparison with others both online and offline.
- Critically explore how the media presents information: distinguishing fact from fiction.
- Talk about their emotions, recognise the signs of early mental wellbeing concerns and take part in structured discussions with their peers.
