Men in Charge: Male Allyship and Why It Matters to Everyone

Featuring Christoph May from the Institute for Critical Masculinity Research

Conversations about role models, equality, and social cohesion are growing stronger, including here in Saxony-Anhalt. Many are wondering what role men play in these discussions today and how they can help create positive change.

In his keynote, he will share clear insights on current trends and offer practical ideas for daily life. He will also discuss how men can take action in everyday situations, support equality at work, and rethink traditional ideas about masculinity. After the talk, you’ll have a chance to join the discussion.
