Instructions<br />

Introduce the activity and ask people to get into groups of about five people. It may<br />

make sense to ask people to <strong>for</strong>m groups with others from the same region.<br />

Explain that participants will have about 30 minutes to produce a collage based<br />

on the research they have done and using other materials that you will make<br />

available. <strong>The</strong> theme of the collage should be “Natural beauty in the <strong>Euro</strong>-<br />

<strong>Mediterranean</strong> region”. Tell them they can make use of any of the available<br />

resources and whatever they have managed to collect themselves.<br />

At the end of this time, display the collages in a place where they can be seen<br />

by all the participants. Invite people to look at those done by the other groups,<br />

and then bring everyone together to discuss the activity as a whole.<br />

Debriefing and evaluation<br />

Ask if anyone has any questions <strong>for</strong> members of the other groups about their collages.<br />

Are the messages behind the collages understandable? What do you think each<br />

one was trying to say?<br />

Have the different groups tried to express the same ideas or sentiments? How<br />

do you explain the similarities or differences?<br />

How easy was it to collect the in<strong>for</strong>mation? Was there some in<strong>for</strong>mation you<br />

were not able to obtain?<br />

Did anything surprise or shock you as a result of the research you carried out<br />

in this activity?<br />

Are the collages mainly about cosmetics and products used by women or men,<br />

or both? Why?<br />

What are some of the differences between cosmetics and products used today<br />

and those used 50 years ago?<br />

How do you assess or evaluate the difference in the impact on the environment<br />

today and 50 years ago? Has the world progressed or regressed in this time?<br />

Would you like to have more in<strong>for</strong>mation about the creams or cosmetics that<br />

you use? Why do you think it is so difficult to find out about their effects on the<br />

environment?<br />

Do you think that expectations placed upon women concerning their beauty<br />

and appearance are justified? What about expectations placed on men? To<br />

what extent do they reflect stereotypical gender roles which may legitimise (or<br />

not) gender inequality?<br />

Do you think the reality is the same in all societies in the <strong>Euro</strong>-<strong>Mediterranean</strong> area?<br />

Has the activity made any difference to the way you think about the cosmetics<br />

and products you use? Will it make any difference to your behaviour in the future?<br />

Tips <strong>for</strong> the facilitator<br />

This activity may be challenging <strong>for</strong> participants if you (or they) do not have access to<br />

the Internet. In that case, you will need to do some research be<strong>for</strong>ehand and provide<br />

printouts or books and/or leaflets <strong>for</strong> them to use. But, the more in<strong>for</strong>mation they can<br />
