    Filled with fun and joy, EMBRACE KIDS brings together a vibrant collection of stories from young people and famous friends alike, who share their experiences about body image, bullying, gender identity, advocacy, representation and more. This film aims to improve the body image of young people across Australia and the world.

About the resources

Targeted to years 5-6, the education program aligns to the Australian Curriculum and includes five lessons that begin with a section of the EMBRACE KIDS film (rated G), edited for the classroom setting. Each film module is supported by activities and worksheets that are informed by evidence regarding effective health promotion and health education practice so you can guide your students with confidence.

            About EMBRACE KIDS

            Directed by Taryn Brumfitt,  Australian of the Year 2023, the film uses an energetic mix of animation, live action, interviews, music and more to explore the relationship children have with their bodies. This film inspires, educates, and advocates for a world where we are not held back by the thoughts we have about the way we look. Instead, young people are encouraged to figure out what makes them unique and special, and use that to spark change.
