Here is an animation of an awareness workshop on bullying and gender stereotypes by reading the “Be unique is awesome” youth album available to children from 6 to 9 years old.

Accompanied by an animation guide for workers and teachers, Being yourself is awesome! is a story that values difference, assertiveness and the deconstruction of gender stereotypes, often at the root of intimidation. The protagonist, a victim of bullying, will experience adventures that will lead to the development of adaptive strategies and the enhancement of self-esteem. The reader must choose how Gaby will react (like Choose Your Own Adventure’s book) and thus discover various solutions to use against bullying.

This book opens the dialogue on gender stereotypes and is complementary to the sexuality education program.
