Belong without losing yourself.
Friendship matters enormously during adolescence. But changing groups, exclusion, gossip, peer pressure and the need to fit in can make belonging complicated.
Girl World gives girls practical tools to understand friendship dynamics, navigate social pressure and stay connected to their own values, boundaries and voice.
Girls explore:
- belonging versus fitting in
- what healthy friendship looks and feels like
- friendship quality versus popularity or status
- changing friendship groups

- group chats, screenshots and online friendship dynamics
- peer pressure and taking sides
- empathy and perspective-taking
- boundaries and direct communication
- conflict, repair and knowing when to step away
Session 1: Belonging
Friendship quality, groups, fitting in, exclusion, gossip and peer influence.
Session 2: Staying Yourself
Values, boundaries, communication, perspective, conflict and repair.
Optional Session 3: Girl World in Practice
Real-life scenarios involving group chats, screenshots, jealousy, exclusion, changing groups, pressure to take sides and difficult conversations.
Outcome: Girls develop practical skills for navigating friendships and belonging without automatically giving up their values, boundaries or voice.

YEAR 8 | 2 x 60 minute workshops
Girls are surrounded by messages about how to look, behave, achieve, belong and be accepted, while still working out who they are and what matters to them.

Girls explore:
- pressure, expectations and perfectionism
- comparison and the feeling of being “not enough”
- social media, beauty standards and outside influence
- values, beliefs, strengths and identity
- people pleasing and fear of disappointing others
- recognising discomfort and body signals
- boundaries and assertive communication
- considering different perspectives
- making choices when there isn’t one perfect answer
- knowing when to pause, seek information or ask for support
Session 1: Know Myself
Pressure, influence, comparison, values, identity and recognising what matters to me.
Session 2: Use My Voice
Self-trust, boundaries, communication, decision-making, help-seeking and responding to pressure.
Outcome: Girls develop greater self-awareness and practical tools to recognise pressure, trust their own judgement, communicate boundaries and make more considered choices.

2 x 60-minute workshops | In development for 2027
Helping girls think critically about the messages surrounding them.
Girls are growing up in a digital world where messages about bodies, beauty, sex and relationships are everywhere, often long before they have the knowledge or confidence to make sense of them.
Girls Growing Up Online helps students recognise how online culture influences their beliefs, expectations and relationships, while developing practical skills to navigate digital pressure, recognise harmful behaviour and seek support.
Girls explore:
- social media, algorithms and online influence
- beauty standards, body image and sexualisation

- gender stereotypes and online misogyny
- peer pressure, boundaries and online communication
- requests for intimate images, sharing and digital consent
- AI-generated images, deepfakes and digital harm
- recognising harmful behaviour and knowing where to get help

Social media, algorithms, body ideals, sexualised content, pornography, gender stereotypes and the messages shaping how girls see themselves and relationships.
Session 2: Navigating Digital Pressure
Online boundaries, image sharing, peer pressure, recognising coercion, responding to harmful behaviour, supporting friends and seeking help.
Outcome: Girls develop greater awareness of the messages influencing them, confidence to question what they see online and practical tools for navigating digital pressure and making informed choices.

Meet Katrina Christian
Speaker • Educator • Founder of Wellwise Woman
For more than 15 years I’ve worked with young people through education and facilitation.
My work focuses on the things girls are often expected to navigate without necessarily being given the language or tools to understand — their changing bodies, friendships, belonging, cultural messages, pressures, boundaries and increasingly complex choices.
My sessions are evidence-informed, highly interactive and grounded in honest conversations girls can actually relate to.
Girls shouldn’t have to grow into women before they learn how to understand themselves.
