What makes a man and how? What is 'typcially' male, what is not? Where does masculinity inspire us and where does it limit us? What can be „toxic“ about masculinity? And what does this have to do with sexism and feminism?
As men* we have learnt to act, react and perceive ourselves and others in certain ways. This workshop is an offer for people socialised as men who want to critically examine their own self and the topic of masculinity. Through conversations, input & exercises, we will reflect on our personal experiences, perceptions and patterns of behaviour as men* as well as the social conditions of masculinity.
