For boys and young men, the internet can be a place where they seek connection, validation and guidance as they explore what it means to be a man today. However, it also exposes them to risks like harmful content, online exploitation and the growing influence of misogynistic ideologies.
This session will help educators understand:
- Social and cultural influences shaping boys and young men
- How boys engage online, build relationships and how they may be vulnerable to manipulation or exploitation
- The impact of social media, gaming, and influencers on their attitudes, behaviours and sense of identity
This presentation will share practical strategies to build critical thinking, challenge harmful narratives, and create open conversations that empower boys and young men to navigate the online world safely and respectfully.
Please direst all queries to the organisers.
