PLAN
Our target age range
11-16 years - whole school
We wanted to
We wanted to stimulate pupils and make them sensitive to the power of influencers and celebrities.
We wanted to challenge the perception of perfection!
Why do we aspire to be like internet influencers? Are we seeing them as they are in real life?
The message that we all need to love ourselves, no matter what we look like, is more important than ever.

We chose to
Collect our ideas.
Design and conduct surveys in classes.
Look into the world behind the social media influencers.
Explore their strategies to gain followers.
Consider which untruths are seen daily on the net through influencers - what are influencers telling us?
Inspired by the results, we wrote a script and shot a video about it.
Decide who would be filmed and who would film it, on the school video cameras.
Edit and combine onto one short film (see our example).

Review
How it ends
Ask key questions: Is it all real? What do these people look like without make up? Are they happier than us?
Answer any questions, on your film, from audience.
During the final evaluation, the students realised: we are all the same, as good as the others, with or without make-up or money.
