Aims & approach
The Goodfellas program is delivered through a 3.5 hour seminar-style workshop, delivered by a professionally trained facilitator, preferably to a whole year group within the school setting.
The workshop goes through a series of myths relating to masculinity and progressively debunks these. The workshop builds capacity, knowledge and skills through collective conversation and small group work, using a scaffolded learning approach.
Gaining understanding of local context and need prior to the workshop, allows the content to be tailored to deliver the best outcomes for the cohort.
