The SeeMe website is designed for year 8 students and their teachers. It promotes a positive body image and tackles idealised media portrayals of beauty and gender, and the influence they have on young people. There are five modules and a digital interactive titled 'Photoshock', which explores the ways images are digitally manipulated by the media. Module themes include body image, fashion, gender stereotypes and healthy life choices, and a culminating module encourages students to subvert existing advertising paradigms. The website is aimed primarily at English classrooms.
