About the Workshop
GFC is convening a two-day learning and framing workshop on June 9-10, 2026, in London to:
- Explore and consolidate our organizational experience with masculinities programming across a continuum of focused and more exploratory work in this space with community-based organizations that GFC funds
- Deepen our collective thinking about what we mean by healthy or caring masculinities in a cross-regional context
- Identify what we want to support, resource, and champion in this field going forward, resulting in a working framework to describe GFC’s approach.
A core internal group at GFC will play a meaningful role in the design of the workshop. The facilitator will work in partnership with this team to finalize a workshop agenda.
