Join us for an insightful workshop in our Loving Me series, where we will explore the impact of colourism, texturism, and featurism on the self-esteem and identity of Afro-European children and their families. These societal beauty standards often influence how we view ourselves and others, and in this workshop, we will dive into these issues and provide strategies for raising confident, self-loving children.

In this session, we will cover:

• Colourism: The impact of skin tone biases and how they shape perceptions of beauty and worth.

• Texturism: The societal preference for certain hair textures over others and its effects on self-image.

• Featurism: How facial features, often tied to racial and ethnic backgrounds, are unfairly evaluated and how to challenge these standards.

This interactive workshop will provide parents, caregivers, and educators with the tools to address these challenges in a supportive and positive way. We’ll discuss how to foster a healthy self-image, instill pride in diverse features, and combat harmful beauty standards, empowering children to embrace their true selves.

Whether you’re a parent, guardian, or educator, this workshop will give you practical strategies to help children navigate these complex issues and cultivate their self-love. Stay tuned for more details, which will be shared as they are finalised.

Registration opens in December 2024. For more information or if you have any questions, feel free to contact us at hello@afroswissfamilies.com.
