⭐️ How can we best approach conversations about gender with boys in K-12 spaces? What biases might we need to confront in ourselves as educators in order to best support our students? Join our panel of experts on Wednesday March 20th, 2024, at 9am PST to find out.
In the past year alone, a staggering 47% of students at post-secondary institutions encountered or witnessed discrimination based on gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation, and one in ten women experienced sexual assault.
Universities and colleges have long been acknowledged as critical grounds for gender-based violence prevention. They are spaces where people of all genders come together to work, play, and learn—from the classroom to the sports field—and as such, they offer opportunities to drive change.
So, how can we leverage our positions as leaders in post-secondary settings to create positive and lasting change? How can we work with men to progress gender justice in our educational institutions?
Join our host, Jermal Jones, Associate Director of Library, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Access at the University of Waterloo, on Thursday, February 15th, at 11 am PT. Learn from experienced individuals currently working with men and boys to advance gender justice in Canada's post-secondary institutions.

In this two hour workshop, we will practice:
Identifying our values & boundaries
Practicing different phrases we can say to communicate our emotions and needs in ways that align with our values and boundaries (and the boundaries of others!)
Identifying who we can go to in our lives for support (and which kinds of support)
Exploring & practicing different ways to respond when someone does not react well to us sharing our emotions and needs
In the Pembina Institute’s 2022 report “Equitable Net-Zero: Recommendations for Advancing Gender Equity in Alberta’s Shift to Net-Zero”, researchers recommend that natural resource industries invest in leadership development for men to become increasingly engaged, knowledgeable, and skillful in advancing gender justice in their respective industries.
We’re inviting leaders in these male-dominant industries to learn more about how they can engage men in violence prevention, advancing equity and inclusion, and promoting mental health and well-being in their industry. Gender justice is tied to not only better outcomes for employees, companies, and industries but also for leaders, personally.
How have the messages we’ve received about how to “be men” influenced our ability to form and maintain relationships with others? Which skills were we discouraged from learning? On the flip side, how do our experiences in relationships change how we understand what “being a man” (or a woman, or nonbinary person!) is all about? How have we (or how can we) learn the skills needed for healthy relationships? Who can help us learn & practice these skills?
Join us on April 6th at 6pm Mountain Time at the Dorset Pub as we dig into these questions and explore the impact of masculinity on healthy relationships!
In 2021, Canadian Women & Sport released an infographic sharing broad strategies for how we can advance gender equity & prevent gender-based violence in sport. One of their suggestions: enlist male leaders as allies & changemakers.
Our first event is live! We’re talking about gender justice in sports. From the locker room to the boardroom, leaders in sports have a responsibility to create safer and more inclusive cultures for current and future athletes. How can we leverage the positions of trust we have as coaches, leaders, parents, and athletes to create positive & lasting change?
Sadly, many of us men are not socialized to name, feel, process, or explain our emotions — despite being such an important part of the human experience.
Luckily, we can learn these skills at any age. It's never too late!
Join us on Saturday April 1st at 11:00am Mountain Time (and no, it's not an April Fool's joke!) as we learn to identify and name our emotions. Don’t worry if you didn’t attend the first workshop in this series. You will be able to understand what’s happening :)
Join Next Gen Men for an online screening of Boys Will Be…Themselves, a new Canadian documentary created by Dylan Rhys Howard that explores the ways masculinity is evolving and changing in the 21st Century.
After the screening, stick around for small group discussions (if you've been to one of our Circle events, you know we love our break-out rooms!), and then a Q+A with the film's director! 🧡
