• What does it mean to be a good, healthy man?
• What do we do with our feelings?
• How should we connect?
• What are our responsibilities?
• Which of the apparent differences between men and women are inherent and which are conditioned? Do any of them matter?
• How does a boy become a man in the modern day? What rites of passage do they have, if any?

What A Man’s Gotta Do explores some of the issues of modern manhood but only some of them – there are many more. And opinions, feelings, thoughts and experiences differ wherever you go.

If you know of issues that men are facing – and places they can go for further learning, exploration, celebration or support – please let us know.

The Festival is a week of unwinding, talking, relaxing, playing and sharing time with other men. It is an opportunity for men to get together to explore ideas and issues with the support of other men.
