From Theory To Practice
From Theory To Practice is Men Can Stop Rape's most comprehensive training, and begins by
exploring the theory behind engaging men of all ages in developing healthier
models of masculinity. Participants will also experience and learn the
exercises and approaches that have have made MCSR's Strength Mediaworks, Men
of Strength Clubs, and Campus Strength program the leaders in the effort to
create cultures free from violence, especially men's violence against women.
Past participants have included rape crisis and domestic violence center
personnel looking for ways to engage men on the primary prevention of men's
violence against women; youth-serving professionals searching for better
ways to teach boys about healthy masculinity and positive relationships;
activist men strategizing new ways to engage men and boys in their community
on role modeling strength without violence, and many, many others!
Training objectives include:
.Become more aware of the "Dominant Stories" of masculinity and better
understand the importance of "Counterstories," and how these relate to
violence against women.
.Explore the challenges of engaging men and learn effective ways to overcome
these barriers.
.Learn how men can be mobilized to become better allies with women.
.Strategize with others about how to involve men in our work.
.Build skills for speaking with men about sexism.
.Learn how to better assist men in connecting sexism to other forms of
oppression.
.Provide participants with practice responses to common reactions and
questions from male audiences.
