SPOKIE NA SIEBIE is the first body-positive campaign for young people in Poland. One in two 15-year-olds and one in three 15-year-olds in our country hate their own bodies. That’s according to the latest World Health Organization report, dated May 2020. For this reason, a campaign is being created that will make a real change in teenagers’ thinking through a series of workshops, lectures and psychological consultations.
HOW DO WE WANT TO CHANGE IT?
We won’t change the whole world at once, but we will slowly and steadily build a sense of self-acceptance and self-esteem in young people. We will start by creating a body-positive space in Gdansk schools and create a series of free workshops for Tri-City youth. We will also provide access to free consultations with experienced psychologists, during which teenagers can work individually on their perception of themselves and their bodies.
WHAT ARE WE RAISING MONEY FOR?
- If we raise £2,500 – we will fund a body-positive photo shoot!
- If we raise PLN 10,000 – we will fund additional psychological consultations!
- If we raise £17,000 – we will do a week of additional workshops for young people!
