13 May – Positive Narratives

This month, we would love to talk more about our own report titled: Positive Narratives. A method to inspire men and boys to thrive and contribute to a world of equality.

Amongst the pressing need to resist the backlash, this report presents an evidence-based framework for offering men and boys a better way and inspiring gender-transformative work through narrative interventions. It is based on and promotes the work many organisations already do, aiming to systematise and popularise it, and invite you to collaborate and expand it further. Its aim is to help practitioners, politicians, influencers, and other people who can reach men and boys, to frame your messages and interventions in ways that can inspire them to empower themselves towards revising gender norms and embracing healthy, caring and equitable masculinities.

You can find it on our Research page in English or German.

This report represents a living project and a continuous work in progress. We will run the session in the spirit of inviting ideas for improvement and further work. We invite you to offer your feedback, share the narratives you have been using, and help us contextualise our work to the various social, cultural, religious and other settings.

About

This reading and discussion group is designed for professionals who work with men and boys and anyone who wants to stay on top of current research, policy trends, and evolving conversations about masculinities. The aim is to build shared expertise, deepen our understanding, and support ongoing professional development in a fast-moving and often politically charged area of practice.

The group is led in English and meets online, once a month, for about 1.5h. Google Meet link provided after registration.
