Staff in schools are becoming increasingly concerned about misogynistic language and behaviours being seen across their settings. Teachers have been left to tackle the impact of social media influencers, such as Andrew Tate, often with little or no training.
Join us for this half-day masterclass to explore in detail the topic of how to tackle misogyny in schools. By the end of the masterclass you will be able to identify these behaviours and understand their potential impact across the whole school community, including on boys themselves. You will come away feeling more able to discuss misogyny with boys in a constructive and effective way.
