As part of its project to promote self-esteem among young people, Dove provides teachers with downloadable educational kits that are free and very interesting.
Lack of confidence and body image anxiety all too often prevent young people from being themselves, affecting their health, friendships and even academic performance.
These resources offered by Dove are specifically designed to help elementary and middle school students develop a positive body image and self-confidence.

The purpose of the Dove educational kits
For more than 20 years, Dove has been helping parents, teachers and caregivers instill fundamental principles of self-esteem. With more than 95 million young people affected worldwide, including 1.5 million in France, Dove wants to educate students about the importance of loving themselves as they are.
Why can these Kits be useful to Teachers?
The subject of body image and self-esteem is not easy to discuss with students. Teachers need effective tools to address these topics in a positive and caring way.
Resources must also be easily integrated into the school curriculum. The material must also be adapted to the different stages of development of young people, ranging from primary to middle school.
The content proposed by Dove ticks all these boxes.
