This is a panel discussion that talks about the crucial role for positive male role models in society today. Our panel comes from diverse backgrounds, personally and professionally. Their discussion will span sports, inclusion, marginalisation, disability and social inequality among other factors playing a part in how men can help young adults.
What to expect:
An open, honest, challenging discussion of the world where men are needing to step-up and be really conscious and engaged in their roles and the potential we all have to be figures for young adults to look to for inspiration and example.
