12 Dialogues
A dialogue-based intervention aimed at supporting personal and social development of boys and young men. 12 Dialogues explores the social and cultural messages on “how to be a man” to which boys and young men are constantly exposed.
With a range of creative and accessible materials, this programme promotes respect and critical thinking, giving young men the opportunity to build a positive future for themselves and those around them.
12 Dialogues was created by Michael Conroy of Men at Work CIC.
