In this episode, H&F Youth Council members Vanessa and Anushka explore what healthy masculinity means for young people today and discuss how we can move beyond stereotypes and create more positive examples for young men and boys.

Special guests Marie from Tender Education and Arts and and Pablo Blackwood from QPR Community Trust share insights on how to counter harmful attitudes online and firsthand experiences on how masculinity can manifest in sports culture.
