WHAT WE HEAR FROM SCHOOLS...
1. Boys feel like being a man is inherently wrong or "toxic"
We pivot to the positive.
We facilitate aspirational conversations about masculinity that give young people a version of manhood they want to move toward.
2. Harmful behaviours escalate when boys are in groups
We deconstruct group dynamics, helping students understand the pressure to "perform", often in harmful ways, and provide a practical blueprint for a positive alternative.
3. Boys are defensive or disengaged when challenged on misogynistic behaviour
Boys often feel (whether rightly or wrongly) unheard or not listened to. We start with empathy and discussing the pressures facing men and boys. By helping boys feel heard and understood first, we can re-engage them in topics like allyship, equality and healthy masculinity.
4. Misogyny has become so normalised that reporting has stopped
We help schools & staff implement a preventative, strengths-based approach to healthy masculinity and challenging harmful attitudes and behaviours.
FAQs
WHO DO YOU WORK WITH?
We partner with all organisations working with young people to promote healthy masculinity across all levels of a young person’s life:
-
Primary: KS2 (Years 5 & 6) (Workshops only)

Secondary & Sixth Form: KS3, KS4, and KS5 (Workshops, assemblies, and long-term programmes)
-
Staff: Specialist CPD and training
-

WHAT DO THE WORKSHOPS COVER?
We don’t lecture; we listen. Our workshops give young people the space to discuss the pressures of growing up today using their own language.
Our 3-step approach:
1. Identify the "rules": We ask, "What does a boy here have to do—or avoid—to be respected, get laughs, or fit in?" This reveals the real-world masculine pressures they face every day.
2. Understand the impact: We explore how these "rules" affect everyone: boys’ wellbeing, girls’ safety, and the wider school culture and community.
3. Build an aspirational future: We help students create a version of masculinity they actually want to live up to: one that is positive, aspirational, and purposeful, for them to move towards.
ARE THE WORKSHOPS JUST FOR BOYS?
No. Masculinity affects everyone, regardless of gender.
While we offer gender-split sessions, we highly recommend mixed groups. Students benefit most when they can have these vital conversations together as one community.
WHO'S LEADING THE WORKSHOPS?
Our expert, mixed-gender team is specially trained in masculinity and youth engagement.
-
Ratios: One facilitator per class/group.
-
Setup: We arrive at least 30 minutes early to prep.
-
Flexibility: We have a team of facilitators, so we can lead multiple sessions throughout a day either consecutively or simultaneously.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
Every school is different. Our pricing is flexible depending on various factors including session type, student/staff numbers, the number of sessions required, and timings.
-
Range: Typically between £500 - £700 at the lower range, and £1500 - £4000 at the higher range (+ Travel & VAT).
HOW LONG ARE THE SESSIONS?
-
Assemblies: 50–60 minutes (Year group size)
-
Workshops: 90–100 minutes (Max 20–30 students for the best engagement).
*A note on "small groups": We strongly recommend working with whole year groups rather than singling out specific boys. In our experience, picking "at-risk" groups can make students feel defensive or resentful, and this negatively affects the engagement and impact of the work. Our work is most impactful when it is a shared, positive experience for everyone.
WHAT TEACHERS SAY ABOUT US
"The boys were really engaged with the topic matter. The sessions elicited some responses from boys that we wouldn’t normally have expected from certain boys. The boys definitely left [the sessions] talking about the subject matter. All the colleagues who were in [the sessions] said it was absolutely really worthwhile."
"[The] children found it very engaging, content was of a high quality, and it was delivered really well and delivered in a really age appropriate way"
"[Students] liked the activities that were done: fun, getting people involved, meaningful discussions about gender roles and responsibilities and assumptions held. Made people reflect on their own views and encouraged them to think more open-mindedly."
