What do you think it could be?

The day before the MenCare Changemaker Summit, hear from Jude Kelly and Equimundo's Gary Barker on what this moment demands of us.

The MenCare campaign is rooted in a simple but powerful idea: that care is fundamental to all human beings.

The Summit – and the Boys and Men Festival – creates space for ideas, dialogue, inspiration and challenge. But more than that, it creates agency and a sense that change is possible and urgent.

As our Changemakers gather in Rio from all over the world, the call is to come ready not only to listen, but to act. To bring influence from across corporations, governments, foundations and civil society into shared space.

Because we can no longer stay in separate conversations. We need meaningful dialogue across sectors, perspectives and genders. We are all in this together.

The S.M.I.L.E-ing Boys in Maré workshops took place in the aftermath of the deadliest police operation in Rio’s history – events that directly affected many of the young people involved.

In a world where Black boys are so often represented through violence and dehumanisation, Kay Rufai’s project creates space for something else: humanity, tenderness, reflection and joy.

Watch Ray, 18, speak about the impact the project had on him and his community ahead of the premiere of S.M.I.L.E-ing Boys in Maré at the WOW Boys and Men Festival Rio 🇧🇷
