The College would like to invite Parents/Caregivers to an interactive evening to assist in educating our Eddies Men on “Championing Young Men In A Digital World”.
Young people today are navigating a distracted, digital world. From hyper-sexualised content to toxic influencers, these online forces permeate into the surrounding popular culture, sometimes causing young people to act out in harmful ways towards themselves and others. Amid these challenges, we also know that youth are capable of living courageously, leading lives of empathy, respect and kindness. But this shift doesn’t just happen. Young people need our help to sensitively unpack the messages they receive about topics like consent, porn culture, stereotypes, relationships and sexuality.

During Daniel Principe’s parent and community presentation, he gently confront the elephants in the room to get to the heart of what really matters to young people. These session intentionally brings parents, caregivers and community leaders together. With care and clarity, Daniel provides reflective tools that can be used to help young people analyse and challenge the culture around them. He unpacks what the latest academic research reveals about how the current social and cultural forces are affecting young people’s wellbeing and their relationships.

Grounded in evidence, he then explores practical ways to equip our young people to become more aware of the people and ideas influencing their behaviour and growing identities. He discusses how to instil the importance of not only consent, but of building respectful and empathetic relationships into adulthood.
