SeeMe is a new, curriculum aligned, interactive online resource that builds media literacy skills in an effort to tackle the alarming incidence of body dissatisfaction reported by Australian young people. The SeeMe website has been developed and piloted with an inspirational group of year 8 Student Leaders (both girls and boys) from three Victorian schools. The group worked with the Queen Victoria Women's Centre, the Victorian Government and a number of other partner organisations, to create the website incorporating a range of ICT tools across five interactive modules.
After participating in the SeeMe program, 79% of students reported that they were better able to identify media techniques in altering and distorting images online.
