Tomorrow Man & Woman

On Wednesday 21st August, all Year 10 students participated in workshops run by Tomorrow Architects, these are called Tomorrow Man and Tomorrow Woman.

Tomorrow Man and Tomorrow Woman Workshops aim to create training grounds to build emotional muscle and spaces free from judgement, to start conversations about what it means to be a man or woman in today’s society and to look at stereotypes and breaking them down. These workshops examined issues and challenges students face, including mental health issues. These workshops were incredibly powerful and students were exceptionally engaged with the facilitators and the stories that were told.

One of the Men’s workshops was filmed for part of a segment on The Project as part of a follow up story that Peter Helliar recently did on men’s mental health in response to losing a friend of his to suicide. The follow up story is about preventative strategies that schools and organisations are employing to increase resilience within students, emotional muscle and mental health. This will be aired on Wednesday 11th September.
