At the "Dressing Room Project" workshops, teen participants design colorful cards with such slogans as: "Worry about the size of your heart, not your body." "You are beautiful" "So what if you're not a Barbie!" These cards are then posted in stores and dressing rooms. I thought that this may be a great activity for classrooms which promote discussion and writing about self-esteem. If any of you try it, let us know! By the way, according to the article that I read, you can get more information and even purchase Dressing Room magnets (I guess that these cards have been converted to magnets) by contacting Mimi Kates at: ewp@vtlink.net (I will also be contacting her to get more information).
