The main goal of this workshop is male involvement in gender equality and against gender-based violence. We consider essential to work on masculinity with young men, taking issue with its negative consequences on relationships, gender inequality and, thus, in relation to misogynistic violence. We aim to offer a space to reflect and dialogue that trascends the school year, challenging all the other men at the university.
The programme tackles the following topics: what are masculinities? What consequences and costs to masculinities carry? How can men and boys change and which challenges does that pose? How can they get involved and get other men involved in acquiring equality and non-violence? Developing proposals and ideas aimed at men of the university community.

Communicating with a gender perspective requires understanding how the discourses we produce perpetuate the patriarchal and androcentric ideology of society, which places women and all those people not defined from the male subject in otherness and marginality. For this reason, it is necessary to identify where and how inequality and discrimination on the grounds of gender are expressed, both implicitly and explicitly, in linguistic and audiovisual discourses. We will learn to apply, in a practical way, the different recommendations for non-sexist communication and the use of inclusive language to gain precision and accuracy in our messages.
