What does body shaming mean?
This book is the final product of the IO1 of the KA2 Body Shining project, which aims to raise awareness about the act of body shaming, enabling youth workers and young people of different cultural/social backgrounds to recognize, identify and prevent it.
Aims of the tool
This book is useful for youth workers because it can serve to gain vocabulary used by young people; gain a better capacity to discuss concepts of body shaming and self-esteem and acquire the capacity to connect concepts and discussions to everyday professional challenges.
Description of the tool
This educational material has been made by the Body Shining project (Erasmus+ KA2 Project, 2020-2-IT03-KA205-019530, funded by the Italian National Agency) through collaborative action and it has been coordinated by MOH, Bari, Italy.
Each of the partners (ANIMUS, ATYPICAL, ELAN, MOH and SMOUTH) made 2 hours workshops with youngsters about the topic of body shaming, in relation to several phenomena such as fat shaming, political bodies, disabling bodies, hate speech and other forms of discrimination. We have collected 200 ‘critical incidents’ about body shaming issues experienced by young people and youth workers, both during workshops and online. Some testimonies tell a detailed story of the incident, others summarize the incidents within a single word or a few words. We would like to thank all the young participants who contributed to the testimonies and the different workshops that took place in Bari, Belfast, Larissa, Paris and Sofia.
