International Men's Day 2023

Teave

For International Men's Day 2023 the Think Forward team attended an event organised by United Youth Alliance in Blackpool. Using the themes identified by the national IMD working group, we worked with participants to co-create the first Cities of Learning IMD Playlist. We explored how we could encourage others to respond to the themes, identified what images would work best and what badge design they felt would work best. This learning playlist is the result of four co-creating workshops from the day. We would like to thank all the young people who contributed to the process and hope you find the playlist a great opportunity to learn, understand and discuss with friends, family and those who work with you.
