This activity seeks to allow male youth to identify their own problematic conceptions of masculinity.

Although power differentials among prison staff and prisoners exist, discussion within these activities will be egalitarian, meaning that the facilitator contributes equally, and that each member of the group is given an
equal opportunity to express and elaborate upon their opinions.

The following activities promote self-reflection about what it means to be a man, as well as understanding toxic masculinity and hyper-masculinity.

These activities work to challenge the group’s conception of masculinity, as well to cast doubt upon the harmful stereotypes hyper-masculinity perpetuates.
