The second webinar explores the theme of being a boy and masculinities in education. Affirmation of young men and masculinities is considered alongside a zero-tolerance approach to harmful behaviours. The session will include:

• Reflection on how gender shapes experiences of education;
• Identifying masculine contradictions that boys and young men are confronted with, and how to respond relationally;
• Adopting a gender conscious lens as educators.
