Promoting rights among Miss Lebanon candidates!
24-8-2018
The Lebanese American University (LAU) received early this month a team of the contestants to Miss Lebanon beauty pageant 2018 who completed a two-week training session to enhance their culture and awareness on women’s issues, society and human rights. The group learned techniques on how to communicate directly with the public, as well as, public speaking and dialogue, and many other topics related to women in general, and to them as contestants in particular. The purpose of the training is to change the concept of beauty through integrating the richness of culture and knowledge into external looks. Participants have also attended courses on beauty from a cultural perspective, beauty measuring criteria and the different body language, as well as, the relation between facial expressions, the movement of the human body, feelings of happiness, discipline, sadness, anxiety and fear, particularly in front of the camera. Additionally, they learned how to distinguish it from the beauty used as a commodity in an attempt to discard the notion that portrays women as tools to promote consumer goods similar to what is widely seen in publicities.
