Under Pressure - Lunchtime discussion groups

These interactive, participatory sessions are designed to create a space for practitioners to come together to discuss good practice in supporting young people to navigate the different pressures they may face.

Self-generated images; onlyfans, consent and digital literacy.

Thu, 5 August 2021, 12:00 – 13:30 - SOLD OUT

In this lunchtime discussion group, participants will explore the rise of self-generated images, consent, coercion and digital literacy.

We will look at some of the messages young people are receiving about self-generated images, the risks and pressures associated with this, and how we can challenge victim-blaming. Participants will be given the space to work through some of the issues that they might see in their work, and connect with others across the country to look at good practices, challenges and opportunities.

Gender stereotypes

Thu, 12 August 2021 12:00 – 13:30 - SOLD OUT

In this lunchtime discussion group, participants will explore where gender stereotypes show up in young people’s lives, and the impact this has on mental health, body image and relationships. Participants will be given the space to reflect together on how we can support positive relationships and break down gender stereotypes.

Unhealthy masculinities in online spaces

Thu, 19 August 2021, 12:00 – 13:30 - SOLD OUT

In this lunchtime discussion group, participants will explore how unhealthy masculinities play out in online spaces. Focusing on PUA (pick up artists), incel culture and the spread of racist, misogynistic and transphobic language online, we will explore in more depth where this might show up, and how we can work together as a community of practice to prevent harmful sexual behaviour.

Abuse in teenage relationships

Thu, 26 August 2021, 12:00 – 13:30 - SOLD OUT

In this lunchtime discussion group, participants will explore what abuse looks like in young people’s relationships, and how attitudes towards sex and relationships impact on our ability to challenge harmful and abusive behaviour. We’ll explore the dynamics of abuse, coercion and control and reflect on good practice on how to support young people to have safe, fulfilling and healthy relationships.

‘Emma was a courageous and inspiring feminist who used her intelligence and political acuity to create meaningful change. This is a terrible loss to all those who knew her, and also to the further progress on women’s rights she would no doubt have driven. She leaves a legacy of real and positive improvements in women’s lives. Our thoughts are with her family and friends.’

Our colleagues at Engender (Scotland) created a section on their page where you can leave your condolences or memories of Emma to be shared with her family and friends: https://www.engender.org.uk/rememberingemma/
