Body Shaming

The Programme

The European Project “Body Shaming: Reframing the Perfect Picture through Active Youth Participation” is implemented by the Cyprus Association of Youth Centres and its members with the main objective of informing, educating and raising awareness among young people about body image and mental health!

In particular, the project has the following objectives:

Promoting inclusion and mental health: Educate and raise awareness among young people (aged 13-30) about their body image and its impact on mental health, particularly in rural and marginalized communities.
Empowering and supporting marginalised young people: empowering students and marginalised young people (aged 13-30) by promoting positive adaptations and enhancing skills for mental wellbeing, addressing fears of rejection due to body image.
Commitment and understanding: Providing opportunities for young people and marginalised groups to engage, learn and participate in discussions with experts and policy makers.

The project is implemented with the scientific support of Neapolis University Paphos
