Exploring the online experiences of boys and young men
Wednesday 30 July 12.30pm
For boys and young men, the internet can be a place where they seek connection, validation and guidance as they explore what it means to be a man today. However, it also exposes them to risks like harmful content, online exploitation and the growing influence of misogynistic ideologies.
This 45-minute webinar will help parents understand:
the social and cultural influences shaping boys and young men
how boys engage online, build relationships and how they may be vulnerable to manipulation or exploitation
the impact of social media, gaming, and influencers on their attitudes, behaviours and sense of identity.
This presentation will share practical strategies to build critical thinking, challenge harmful narratives, and create open conversations that empower boys and young men to navigate the online world safely and respectfully.
