Project overview

A participatory action research project in the City of Gosnells that engaged CaLD men and boys in primary prevention work.

The project consisted of three tiers:

Tier 1 – 12 session weekly program with male leaders in the African Community
Tier 2 – Weekly after school program with 2 groups of young men (11-13 and 14-16 years of ages) for 12 months, discussing health relationships, leaderships, masculinity, manhood and attitudes towards women.
Tier 3 – series of workshops within schools discussing, healthy relationships, gender and attitudes towards women.

Following the initial project period in April 2018 – April 2019, further small extensions of funding have provided the opportunity to collate and share findings, mentor young people and deliver a short series of workshops with girls and boys from the Afghan community during the summer holidays in January 2021.
