As part of the Erasmus+ project BeYou – Empowering Young Women through Natural Beauty, Creative Station organized workshops at the 14th Belgrade Gymnasium, aimed at female students who showed great interest in topics related to personal development, self-confidence, and media literacy.
During the workshops, students had the opportunity to explore the project’s goals and activities, and to actively participate in discussions on self-acceptance, critical analysis of media content, and building self-confidence among young women. Through group work, personal reflections, and peer exchange, the girls were encouraged to openly talk about the challenges they face in everyday life and how they perceive themselves.
One of the key aims of the workshops was to collect feedback and suggestions from the participants to improve the online educational materials being developed within the project. Special attention was given to connecting young women, enabling them to support each other, share experiences, and build a healthier self-image together.
We would like to express our gratitude to the 14th Belgrade Gymnasium for the warm welcome, support, and openness to cooperation. By providing space for such activities, the school contributes to creating a safe and encouraging environment for young people’s personal growth.
The BeYou project aims to empower young women by promoting natural beauty, emotional resilience, and mutual support, and these workshops represent an important step toward achieving that goal.
