Dove Self-Esteem Project Ireland
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-linked lessons for delivery in primary and post-primary schools across the Republic of Ireland.

“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)
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.
Take home resources
Parents and carers can also build their child’s confidence and self-esteem at home with the Dove Confidence Kit. It contains top tips and handy checklists covering appearance ideals, bullying, family communication and much more.
Every young person deserves to grow up feeling confident about themselves. Use our free resources today to support your learners at home or in school.
Success Stories
Join the thousands of teachers that are already benefitting from Dove’s Self-Esteem Project. Here’s what one teacher had to say:
“The sessions were EXTREMELY beneficial to my students. It will no doubt make them think twice about images and videos they see posted online in the future. The message of accepting you for who you are was also very evident through all the sessions and what a great message that was for them all to take away with them.” – Secondary School Teacher
The Dove Self-Esteem Project has been building confidence in young people since 2004 – and aims to reach ¼ billion by 2030. But they need your help!
