#Men4Change Toolkit

This resource is available from men4change.co.uk/ The #Men4Change toolkit is a workshop resource for youth leaders, activists and other professionals who work with young men to reflect on issues relating to gender, masculinity and what it means to be a man in the UK today. The resource further encourages young men to explore how harmful gendered norms and behaviours can be tackled in ways that aim to benefit themselves, their peer groups and communities.

The toolkit, developed in consultation with UK community based stakeholders – Metro, Beyond Equality and Survivors Network – has emerged from a three-year research ESRC funded project - #Lads on Social Media: Investigating Young Networked Masculinities. Researchers spoke directly to young people (18 to 25-year olds) in all four countries of the UK about how they view identities, masculinity and ‘lad cultures’ in both online and offline spaces. liverpool.ac.uk/humanities-and-social-sciences/research/research-themes/centre-for-digital-humanities/projects/lad-culture/ The toolkit has a Creative Commons license: Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0.
