Join us for an insightful workshop in our Loving Me series with facilitator Danielle Isler, a Zurich-based social scientist, artist, and activist whose work focuses on inclusion, identity, and anti-racism.

In this workshop, we will explore the impact of colourism, texturism, and featurism on the self-esteem and identity of Afro-European children and their families. These societal beauty standards often shape how we view ourselves and others. Together, we’ll unpack these issues and share strategies for raising confident, self-loving children who embrace their full identity.

We’ll discuss the effects of skin tone biases, hair texture preferences, and facial feature stereotypes — and how these ideas influence perceptions of beauty and worth. This interactive session will provide parents, caregivers, and educators with practical tools to foster a healthy self-image, instill pride in diverse features, and combat harmful beauty standards.
