Progressive Masculinity - Year 5 and Year 6 Boys
Progressive Masculinity Ltd is dedicated to reshaping the understanding of masculinity for boys and men challenging outdated models of masculinity and promoting a healthier, more open-minded perspective.
Workshops are based on creating safe, non-judgmental spaces where boys and men can explore their masculinity, focusing on supporting them through the transition from adolescence to manhood by empowering them to construct models of masculinity that align with their values. This enables them to become the kind of men, friends, partners, and fathers that the world needs.
What makes this programme different?
Unlike awareness-only approaches, these workshops are:
- Highly practical – games, scenarios, challenges and guided discussion
- Engaging for KS2 boys – fast-paced, relatable and age-appropriate
- Non-judgemental – boys are encouraged to think critically, not told what to think
- Grounded in everyday life – playground dynamics, banter, loyalty, pressure and reputation
What pupils gain?
By the end of the programme, pupils are better able to:
- recognise pressure within male friendship groups
- understand how group norms can pull behaviour away from personal values
- practise ways of responding that don’t rely on dominance, silence or conformity
- build empathy, confidence and emotional awareness without stigma
