Building empathy in young men
This workshop experience is a powerful tool for educators and wellbeing teams seeking to deepen the social and emotional learning of their male students and create a school culture that promotes inclusivity and understanding.
Increased connection and compassion for women is at the core of In Her Shoes, empowering young men to empathise with women's experiences and engage in meaningful conversations, not just about them, but with them. Through active engagement and personal reflection, students are guided through participatory activities that provide insight into supporting gender equity and fostering connections that promote allyship.
The session is co-facilitated by our Tomorrow Man and Tomorrow Woman teams. This collaborative approach not only enhances the learning experience but also reinforces the importance of diverse perspectives and voices in discussions surrounding gender equality.

Both are equally impactful as our facilitators are also well-trained to engage online group settings – yes, even beyond those tech mishaps! Just ask.
