HAF Newcastle Training – Positive Masculinity Train the Trainer

HAF Newcastle Training

StreetGames are working in partnership with Little Blackbird to deliver a Positive Masculinity Train the Trainer Programme. This is a ‘train the trainer’ type programme for staff/ volunteers with limited spaces so for now, the offer is 15 places with one place per organisation (there will be a waiting list for additional applications).

Ideally the same staff member will attend all sessions and will be a ‘frontline’ worker who works directly with the young people we are hoping this programme will benefit.

The key objectives of the programme are;

• Inform & Educate – Explore the social, cultural and systemic influences on masculinity, the negative impact of ‘toxic’ masculinity, and the benefits of positive expressions of masculinity.
• Develop confidence and innovation within teams – Support staff with creative skills of engagement to promote positive masculinity in our direct work with young people, with a clear call to action to implement.
• Support the creation and development of initiatives in each organisation.
• Peer to Peer Support – To create and strengthen supportive networks between organisations, sparking positive ideas, collaborative working opportunities and sharing best practice.

All sessions will take place at The Lighthouse Project, St Michaels Mount, Byker, Newcastle, NE6 2FT, 9.30am – 4.30pm – dates;

• Tues 27^th and Wed 28^th Jan
• Tues 24^th and Wed 25^th Feb
• Tues 21^st and Wed 22^nd April.

Spaces will be prioritised for those who have delivered HAF within the last 12 months.  If this is not applicable to your organisation but you wish to book a place, please get in touch to discuss.
