Man|Made is facilitated as five 90-minute sessions/modules over consecutive weeks.听

Our time together in the program will focus on facilitated dialogue and reflective activities, fostering a space of peer connection, a modelling of healthy masculinity, and a challenge to step into accountability. Core to the program is understanding intent versus impact. Having participants understand that they might not have intended to cause harm but that their actions still resulted in harm.

Man|Made is open to students from 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 and the University of King's College.

Man|Made will run over 5 consecutive weeks: Tuesdays at 4pm, beginning Feb. 7th! (Excludes reading week). Food is provided.

Sexual violence is a spectrum that impacts individuals differently. Being able to differentiate between intent and impact can help us to have nuanced conversations with perpetrators of harm that hold the complexities between different people鈥檚 experiences of the same event. It can genuinely be one person鈥檚 truth that they did not mean to harm anyone, and they did not experience the event as harmful, while another person came out of the same event having experienced harm.

When we can differentiate between intent and impact, we can centre the harm caused without othering the person who caused that harm. Holding multiple truths is an important skill in being able to think both critically and compassionately about sexual violence and the aftermath of harm.
