"“SOW. LARD BALL. COW. MISTAKE OF NATURE. I HOPE YOU'RE RAPED. WATER HEATER WITH LEGS. YOU, DISGUSTING BITCH"" Michela Murgia, writer.YouGov, the largest online data catalogue available, made a European survey about body shaming. Really important it’s the data that tells us how many people don’t even have the knowledge to understand that they are victims of it. People whose bodies do not correspond to the ""ideal"" canon are insulted or discriminated against - one-third of people in Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Spain, Sweden and Spain have already experienced this on their own. In most cases, being a victim of body shaming is not an isolated case: among Europeans who have suffered discrimination, 36% have suffered more than ten times.""Body Shining"" is an outcome of the interest of all 5 European partner associations to multiply and improve the tools and abilities in the field of non-formal education with youth at risk of social exclusion, by sharing and combining resources, abilities, experiences and good practices amongst them. Each one of the partner's associations is specialized in one field of non-formal education.Main objectives of the project are:• Raise awareness about the act of body-shaming • Give tools of art mediation • Zeroing cyberbullying and act of discrimination• Enhancing self-esteem that allows us to have good relations with our-self and the others (fundamental for our personal growth development). The project has a duration of 29 months within which we improve 5 intellectual output: IO1 ""What does body shaming mean?"": We will present a book filled with young people’s perspectives on body-shaming. It will be based on workshops co-designed by them and by young with disabilities. It will collect 200 critical incidentsIO2 ""Toolkit for prevention"": The output will consist of a series of video and texts offering training tools for youth workers to address the topic of body-shaming. The focus will be on prevention of body-shamingIO3 ""Art workshops for body-positivity"" while IO2 focuses on creating pedagogical tools for prevention, IO3 focuses on pedagogical tools that can be used for youngsters who had experienced body shaming. We will deliver art-based workshops in co-constructionIO4 ""Online learning platform"" aims to help youth workers integrate the project’s products into their work practice either by establishing specific training or by inserting specific sessions into the existing collaboration process. To facilitate the adaptation of our training we’ll upload the videos from IO2 and IO3 illustrating the workshop processes of the different intellectual outputsIO5 ""Artistic-campaign to raise awareness about body-shaming"" consists in preparing art-campaigns co-developed by youth and artists on the main topics of the project and in delivering a toolkit to build a replicable model for art-campaign making, embedded in specific pedagogical objectives. IMPACT ON YOUNG PEOPLE/YOUNG PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIESThrough prevention activities they will: • Raise awareness of the role and the use of the internet, social media, and cyberbullying• Develop skills to identify, avoid, or escape from the act of body shaming• Degrowth of hate speeches• Zeroing shame as a result of a traumatic experienceThrough body-positivity aptitude they will: • Increase confidence and safety• Gain skills namely: self-approval, self-esteem, security • Accept and appreciate diversity as an element of enrichment Through empowerment/co-construction of art-sed workshops it will: • Acquire tools to run an artistic workshop• Be empowered through their increasing ability to do research, to explore their own perceptions and to find out more about other people’s attitudes and beliefs• Obtain tools to use and explore art mediation.IMPACT ON YOUTH WORKERS Through prevention activities they will gain: • Vocabulary used by young people• Competences to address the possible presence of insecurity concerning certain parts of us, which affects the well-being of our lives• Skills to advocate and prevent acts of discriminationThrough body-positivity aptitude they will: • Obtain tools to empower young people • Acquire the capacity to animate in autonomy art mediation workshops with young people related to the body • Get capacity to promote body positivity aptitude Through empowerment/co-construction of art-sed workshops they will:• Gain a better capacity to discuss concepts of body shaming and self-esteem• Acquire the capacity to connect concepts and discussions to everyday professional challenges• Obtain tools to use and explore art mediation."

The FEEL (Femicide Emergency on European Level) project set out to provide an answer to the following problems: 1. the need to create an inter-institutional system of cooperation able to accommodate the issue of violence, which exposes each professional to institutional isolation and possible legal consequences. Both, the lack of an inter-institutional protocol in support of the victims of violence as well as top-down built protocols poorly shared, adversely affect health professionals' willingness to support women in exposing criminal complaint. Since the exchange and cooperation between the various actors has been recognized as much affecting the change of attitudes, the proposed training course has achieved this goal; 2. the need to change the culture and attitudes of professionals (health care, social inclusion, justice, police, journalism): training courses for professionals, although calibrated for an extended period of time, often does not produce expected changes, especially with regard to the development of more effective system of the victims protection. In fact, the only increase of knowledge and awareness about the phenomenon of violence does not necessarily create more favorable attitudes toward the victims. Such as deep insight can be reached by viewing of what are the victims going through as well as of our own reactions and resistances. The latest are often based on a mix of rational aspects and emotional aspects affecting the perception of this disturbing social phenomenon. For this reason, the courses have dealt with address the emotional aspects and help practitioners to open up the theme that deeply disturbed the conscience and potentially destabilize the working balance. 3. a poor assessment of existing training programs in previous experiences: the training path was developed together with an appropriate assessment system to show the effectiveness in producing changes in the attitudes of professionals, 4. lack of knowledge about possible supports and services that can offer protection with effective precautionary measures. Actions were strengthened and the dissemination of information on all media available to victims of violence was increased; 5. poor declination of existing laws, practices that have no prescriptive value (for example, only a few schools had opportunities to institute training programs on gender issues; similarly, not all hospitals have set up the Pink Code in emergencies. General objective of the project FEEL was to generate a climate of confidence among institutions, professionals and victims of violence through an innovative vocational training program aiming to increase effective measures to protect women from the risk of violence recurrence and counteract the phenomenon of femicide. Specific objectives of the project were: • to validate a multi-actor training model based on participatory and experiential methodologies, equipped by an evaluation system assessing learning outcomes, in particular in terms of attitudinal and behavioral change • to validate a specific training pathway for the experts charged to address the psychological issue of violence and to produce a report (having a legal value) • to test the model in the involved cultural contexts • to produce legislative and operational recommendations to facilitate an appropriate implementation of existing laws. • to develop an application including a flow chart with a decision tree to support the professionals’ emergency to disclose the cases of violence and encourage violence complaints by victims. To achieve these objectives, FEE realized the following activities: 1. O1. PARTICIPATORY STATE OF THE ART identifying difficulties and local barriers (social, cultural, psychological), which are opposed to an early start of the anti-violence precautionary measures and a reliable assessment of the risk of recurrence. Stakeholders who enter in touch with the victim of violence will attend this activity. 2. O2. Design of FEEL model, containing: a. Training programme and teaching metodologies b. Teaching materials c. Evaluation system of learning outcomes and impacts d. Recommendations in support of appropriate implementation of available law 2. Training of Trainers (ToT): 3-day International Workshop to redefine and transfer the contents, guidelines and teaching methodologies 3. O3. Report about the experience of the ToT. 3. Four local Pilot Training for professionals involved in protection of women victims of violence in Italy, Spain, Bulgaria and Czech Republic 4. O4. Evaluation Report of the implementation (Assessment of learning outcomes, assessment of impacts, assessment of the follow-up 5. Four final multiplier events (one for each partner Country) with the participation of local stakeholders to discuss the results of the project and enhance their dissemination more widely.
