Date:  Thursday 5th February 2026

Time:  3.45 - 4.30 p.m.

Presenters:  Susan Morgan - TBS Principal Investigator, Ulster University and Andy Hamilton - TBS Researcher

The final webinar explores the theme of empowering boys in education, drawing on the evidence-based Boys' & Young Men's Quadrant. The Quadrant is a new online resource for educators. It includes the Empowering Boys Questionnaire, tested with over 1100 students, with 25 scaled questions that invites reflections on voice, influence, interdependence, belonging and being a boy in schools. The webinar will include:

• An opportunity to complete the Empowering Boys Questionnaire from the perspective of a young person faced with compounded educational disadvantage;
• Engagement with intentional practice resources from https://www.theboyquadrant.org/intentional-practice;
• Guidance on how to implement the Boys' & Young Men's Quadrant to embed and enhance relational empowerment within your educational context.
