SEED Workshops include:
Media Wise
In a time where body-image anxiety and disordered eating are at all-time highs, this workshop explores the impact of advertising and social media on self-perception and body-image. We examine the prevalence of unrealistic beauty standards and reveal the industry's tactics, empowering students to see and embrace their own beauty and style - inside and out.
Respectful Relationships
Part 1: We begin by exploring gender stereotypes and look at the pervasive influence of sexism in the media, politics and sometimes in our own lives. SEED Workshops encourages students to be aware of their rights and those of others, including the plight of those in less privileged parts of the world, fostering a deeper understanding and commitment to equality.
Part 2: This section of our (age-appropriate) workshop focuses on the emotional aspects of romantic relationships, with particular emphasis on understanding consent. We also explore the media’s handling of high-profile sexual violence cases against women, fostering critical thinking skills as we look at ways to reframe discussions around sexual assault to combat victim-blaming and reduce violence and abuse in relationships.
The Best of Friends
When you ask young people about their most cherished connections, the answer often revolves around their friendships. We empower students to cultivate and nurture healthy relationships with their friends and peers. We explore the qualities that make friendships thrive, and identify and learn how to navigate challenging dynamics, mastering the art of respectfully resolving conflict. Integrating affirmative expression, this workshop is guaranteed to strike a chord with every student!
Assert Yourself
One of the first words we learn to say is 'NO!', yet by the time we reach adolescence we sometimes find it difficult to assert ourselves. Using a variety of scenarios, SEED Workshops teach students how to get themselves out of some tricky situations. With lots of hints and tips and some simple and effective assertiveness techniques, they will be armed with the tools to set their boundaries and protect their personal space.
Stress Less
In today's fast-paced world, young people are experiencing anxiety and stress at unprecedented levels. We promote positive mental health by helping them recognise, understand and effectively manage their stress, providing a range of proven stress-busters for use in their daily lives to enhance their overall well-being and pave the way for improved learning outcomes.
Talking the Talk
Vincent Van Gogh once said “If you hear a voice within you saying ‘you are not a painter’, then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced”. Using art therapy to create a take-home keepsake (materials provided by SEED Workshops) this hands-on experience combined with enriching group discussions, helps students discover the power of positive self-talk as they reflect on what is most important to them.
Be Fine Online
Social media offers young people constant access to friends and the world, but it's not always positive. For many, these platforms can become avenues for bullying and harassment, sometimes with serious repercussions. SEED Workshops equips students with essential information about online risks, empowering them to foster safe and positive digital experiences.
* Our program is individually tailored to suit your school’s timetable, and is most effective when delivered as a full-day
event of five to six workshops. We also offer a 2hr 'Respectful Relationships' session. We look forward to working with you and your students!

What girls say about SEED Workshops:
'I thought we were going to be in for a boring lecture today, but it wasn’t like that at all! It was so much fun, and I learnt so many new things about myself and my friends. Thanks for teaching me how to be a good friend, to respectfully resolve conflict, how to relax, to reject toxic messages in the media and advertising, and to love myself. This was the best day ever.’

You taught me to feel good about my body, how to be assertive, about the messages in the media, and how to have better relationships with everyone. I feel stronger after today. Thank you. It was awesome and lots of fun!’ Jacinta | Yr 10 More feedback here. |
