A Learning Experience
Like No Other.
A Dantesque journey into the inferno of language, these hilarious and inspiring workshops have been described by students as being among the best experiences they have ever had in school.
From the studious to the sporty to the delinquent, everybody engages and everybody raves about the experience.
Teachers describe students bouncing into class directly after taking part. The school hallways buzz with chatter.
- From the introvert to the extrovert, this is where students of all abilities find their voices and are empowered to use them.
- It is as much an SPHE workshop as it is literacy, covering topics such as identity, relationships, mental health, sexuality, gender and the topics that young people care about.
- Workshops run between two and three hours, for class groups of up to 30. The ideal running time is two-and-a-half hours per group. Larger seminars are also available on certain days.s
Man-Up to Misogyny
– For all ages –
Empowering young men to change the narrative.
Born from the Poetry Slam workshops, here Stephen shares his stories of growing up in a women’s shelter, foster care and later a residential children’s home.
We examine the language used in the media that we engage with that normalises and glorifies violence against women.
This is not about toxic masculinity, it is about challenging young men to redefine masculinity in broader terms, in line with the virtues that they hold dear.
It is about asking ourselves whether it takes more strength and courage to degrade and humiliate others, than it does to stand up for one another and do the right thing.
It’s about raising awareness about the power of language and how we use it.
It’s about defending masculinity in all its forms from male supremacy.
It’s about changing the narrative.
