EDUCATION

Graduation Day
Allyship, LGBTQ+ Support, and Engaging Boys as Advocates

The Education strand will focus on the role of educational institutions in shaping masculinities and promoting gender justice. We will discuss strategies for engaging boys as advocates for gender equality and supporting LGBTQ+ students. Sessions will cover topics such as allyship, the importance of inclusive curricula, and the role of educators in challenging harmful gender norms. By fostering inclusive and supportive educational environments, we aim to cultivate a generation of boys and men who are committed to gender justice and equality.
