Raising Gentle Boys

Many gender equity projects (rightly!) focus on empowering girls, but that’s only half the story. This workshop focuses specifically on how stereotypes negatively affect boys and men. From toxic masculinity to misogynist influencers, we’ll explore the issues boys are facing today and how educators and parents can support them to grow up into compassionate, kind and successful adults. 

 

​

Topics covered include:

• The risks boys and men are facing

• Why early intervention is key

• What are little boys made of?

• Will boys be boys? Nature vs nurture

• Exploring role models 

• Why language matters

• Working with parents for the best outcomes

 

​

This workshop is perfect for anyone who works with boys and young men, and who wants to build a holistic approach to gender equity in their education setting.
