THIS MIGHT BE FOR YOU IF...

Your students and participants are watching content online that's shaping how they think about themselves, relationships, and what it means to be a man — and most of it isn't being talked about in class or in program. You're looking for a way to bring those conversations into a structured, safe environment.

WHAT WE'LL COVER

● Messages about masculinity online
● Critical media literacy

WHERE IT WORKS

This session was designed for secondary school environments, where online influencer culture is a constant presence in students’ lives. It also works well in nonprofit youth programs where facilitators have time to build the trust needed for honest conversation about the media young men are consuming.
