Founder and CEO of Progressive Masculinity, Mike Nicholson has over seventeen years of experience in education as an English teacher and middle leader. Having worked in schools from every Ofsted category, he has a wide range of expertise across the educational spectrum.

Over the years, Mike became increasingly interested in how our male pupils’ understanding of masculinity was pivotal in their attitudes and behaviours. Researching, developing, and piloting an early version of the Progressive Masculinity Programme allowed him to see how so many of our men put on a performance and a mask of what they think it means to be a man’ gleaned from films, games, social media, etc.

The refined version of the Progressive Masculinity Program is Mike’s effort to give our men the freedom and confidence to remove this mask and, through open dialogue and practical activities, reconstruct a healthier and more open-minded understanding of what it can mean to be “a man”. During this webinar, Mike will demonstrate how we can create spaces in our schools, homes, and communities to challenge harmful attitudes in a way which shows the massive potential of masculinities.
