'Growing Good Blokes with a Healthy Sense of Masculinity' - An Evening with Mike Dyson

This event has been rescheduled, and will now be held on the evening of Tuesday, 22 August.

--------

What is healthy masculinity? In a world of complexities, the understanding and actions of manhood at any age can be quite a complex path. Mike Dyson, Founder of Good Blokes Co, is here to have that conversation, and to provide context and the tools to navigate the world of being a good bloke with a healthy sense of masculinity. 

This informative, positive and practical 90-minute presentation will explore the gap between the character traits that boys aspire to and the evidence of their wellbeing and behaviour. Mike will discuss themes including, but not limited to: the broader culture of masculinity and its impacts on boys’ mental health, risk and aggression, boys’ relationships with girls and women, the quality of boys' social connections, and the interplay between stoic masculinity and social media. Additionally, Mike will give some very practical tips for getting boys talking on all kinds of difficult topics at home, and a large list of conversation starters. There will be an opportunity for audience Q&A at the end of the presentation.

The event will also include a panel discussion with Mike, plus TC's own Mr Chris Mayne (Director of Football), and Mr Callum Walley (Aboriginal Education Assistant).

This event is proudly presented by the Trinity College Parent Council.

All attendees will receive a grazing box; adult guests will also receive a small bottle of wine, and students will receive a water bottle.
