Understanding Masculinity & Tackling Misogyny
Duration: 2 hours or 4 hours
Recommended for: Teachers, RSE leads and professionals working with young people
Overview of session:
In response to increasing concerns about the dangerous impact of online misogyny on students, Brook has developed this training session to support teachers to understand and tackle harmful misogynistic narratives in the classroom.
This training prepares professionals to understand gender related pressures among young people, to know the nature and scale of online misogyny, and to identify and mitigate the push-pull factors that attract young people towards extreme online ideologies. This training includes practical RSE tips and activities to increase professionals’ confidence in raising an awareness and tackling misogyny in the classroom.

- Describe the harmful impacts of gender stereotypes on young people’s wellbeing, relationships and opportunities.
