Taking Boys Seriously 2021 - 20 October 2021

The Taking Boys Seriously project, led by Ulster University, seeks to proactively engage with young men, schools and youth groups to increase attainment and levels of higher education participation among young males. 

Taking Boys Seriously conference 2021

The first Taking Boys Seriously conference (October 2018) captured innovative practice in some of Northern Ireland’s post primary schools and youth groups in terms of raising boys’ aspirations and improving engagement. 

‘Taking Boys Seriously 2021’ aims to influence policies, pedagogies and practices in order to create improved understanding of systemic and personal barriers and to increase opportunities for young males to succeed in education.

The event will explore how boys are relational learners and will be delivered in partnership by the Controlled Schools’ Support Council, Ulster University, Council for Catholic Maintained Schools and Youth Action NI on 20 October.

Further information on Taking Boys Serious project, registration and programme will be available soon from the conference website.
