TOPIC -- Overview of the NAMEN State of the Field Report and a Call for Feedback
NAMEN has produced a draft “State of the Field” Report of the male engagement/mobilizing efforts in Canada and the US (to be released in early 2021). This report identifies trends, practices, methodologies and lessons being learned in the efforts to engage and mobilize meno in this region.
This Member Meet Up will provide an overview of the report, identify the key findings and additional questions that emerged from this report. We will then engaged you in a critical conversation about this report, including implications that you see from this report for our efforts going forward. We intend to integrate key points from this conversation into the final report.
Rus Funk, NAMEN Program Consultant and Author of the report will provide the overview and facilitate this conversation.
