Working with Young Men

Short Summary: Young men need to reflect about how traditional and negative male behaviours affect their own lives and how they can construct alternative ways of interacting in their intimate relationships. In co-operation with partners, Instituto PROMUNDO developed this set of training manuals on ‘sexual and reproductive health’, ‘mental health’, ‘violence prevention’, ‘fatherhood and caregiving’ and ‘HIV/AIDS’. These manuals outline group activities for community interventions, for example, discussions of male ‘honour’, role-plays in which young men act out coercive and non-coercive relationships and discussions about condom negotiation. An accompanying video ´Once upon a Boy’ complements the manuals and recounts the story of a boy who is faced with all of the issues dealt with in the manuals and who tries to break-free of stereotypical male behaviour.
