A question for every secondary school leader reading this. Who is currently teaching your boys what it means to be a man?

Because somebody is. Nightly, on their phones, for free.

Dan Allchurch runs Talk Consent, the UK’s largest provider of in-school s*x education, working with over 700 schools and 350,000 young people to prevent misogyny and s*xual harm. He’s part of our Boys’ Conference on 18 November because a day about aspiration that ignores this is a day that’s ducked it.

If your school is already having this conversation in SLT meetings, this is the trip that gives you somewhere to put it.

Send this to your head or your safeguarding lead.

A trained actor who now teaches communication to corporate teams, and before that to teens other people had given up on.

Tambo Silavwe brings behavioural science and drama training together into something Year 9 and 10 boys can actually use: how to hold a room, how to handle a conversation they’re losing, how to name what they’re feeling before it comes out sideways.

He’s delivered at HSBC, KPMG, Virgin, Microsoft and the NHS. He co-founded Mentality, a men’s mental health movement.

If your PSHE or oracy provision needs evidencing this year, his session is where it lands.

18 November, Linklaters, London. Tag a colleague who plans your enrichment.

if you have a boy in Year 9 who is one incident away from permanent exclusion, this is the post to forward to your head of year.

J Grange was permanently excluded from two schools. He was diagnosed with ADHD and dyspraxia. He has since spoken at the United Nations, UNESCO and 10 Downing Street, and is an ambassador for ADHD UK.

He speaks to Year 9 and 10 boys at our conference on 18 November at Linklaters.

Around one in five of your pupils are neurodivergent, and the ones who’ve been labelled disruptive rarely hear from an adult whose school record looked like theirs. That’s not a nice-to-have. For a lot of schools it’s the whole reason to come.

Send this to whoever runs your careers or inclusion provision.

The hardest job at a conference for 200 teenage boys is not speaking. It’s holding the room.

Cameron Parker has worked with over a million teenagers. He hosts our Boys’ Conference at Linklaters on 18 November for the fourth time, and he’s the reason a day like this doesn’t drift.

For anyone weighing up whether to bring a group: the host is the variable that decides whether your pupils come back energised or come back having sat through something. You will not be managing behaviour from the back of the room. That matters when you’re the member of staff responsible for fifteen Year 9s in central London.

£17.50 per person, staff included. Maximum 15 places per school. Invoicing available.

Careers leads, this is one for your autumn programme.

Parents of Year 9 and 10 boys: you can’t book this, but you can ask.

On 18 November, schools are bringing groups of boys into Linklaters in central London for a full day of speakers, workshops and speed mentoring with professionals across law, finance, sport and the creative industries. Fourteenth year we’ve run it.

It’s £17.50 per pupil and schools bring up to fifteen at a time. Most schools have never heard of it.

One message to your son’s head of year or careers lead is all it takes. Screenshot this and send it.

That’s how most schools find us.

Stop asking teenagers what they want to do with their life.
They don’t know. They’re not supposed to. The brain that makes those decisions isn’t even finished forming yet.
What they do need? Goals. And smaller goals inside those goals.
That was the message Wilfred Webster brought to our boys’ conference at Linklaters. Former teacher. Runner-up on The Traitors. BAFTA winner. The kind of CV that doesn’t come from a five-year plan - it comes from saying yes, setting a goal, and figuring out the next small step.
The pressure to “know what you want to do” is one of the heaviest things we put on young shoulders. And it’s the wrong question.
The right question is: what’s one thing you’re going to do this week that moves you in a direction worth moving?
Listen to what Wilfred told the boys. It’s the permission slip a lot of us wish we’d been given.

Tell a teenager to find a role model and they’ll picture someone they’ll never meet.
A footballer. A rapper. A face on a screen.
But the role models who actually change a young person’s trajectory tend to be closer than that. The auntie who runs her own business. The youth worker who turns up every week. The professional who looks like them, grew up where they grew up, and made it work.
That’s why we invited Dylan Aupetit to our boys’ conference at Linklaters. Senior Global Partner Account Manager at World Wide Technology. DEI lead. A real person, with a real career in tech, who took real time to be in the room.
Listen to what Dylan told the boys about role models. It’s not what most adults would say.

A man stood in front of a room of teenage boys at Linklaters and talked about emotion.
Not in a therapy way. In a way that actually landed.
Ragz-CV - spoken word artist, founder of Poetic Unity, ten years of building a charity around the radical idea that boys need somewhere to put what they’re carrying - showed our boys what it looks like when a grown man uses words to make sense of his life.
Here’s what most adults get wrong about boys and emotion. We tell them to “talk about how they feel.” But that’s not the problem. The problem is that we’ve handed them a language built for someone else - a clinical, careful, female-coded language - and then wondered why they go quiet.
Spoken word does something different. It’s rhythm. It’s culture. It’s permission shaped like performance. It lets a boy say what he’s holding without having to admit he’s holding it.
Ragz wasn’t just performing for our boys. He was showing them an outlet. A different way to be a man with something to say.
If you’re a parent, a teacher, or a man who works with young men - this matters. Su***de is still the biggest killer of men under 50 in the UK. Silence is killing them. Spoken word is one of the doors that opens.

The bravest boy in the room isn’t always the loudest one.
Sometimes he’s the one who stayed.
Stayed when the group turned. Stayed with the wrong answer instead of pretending to know. Stayed in his own skin when everyone else was performing.
We tell teens to step out of their comfort zone. But for many young men, the comfort zone is a hiding place. Leaving it doesn’t always look loud - sometimes it looks like quietly choosing to be seen.
At our recent boys’ conference, hosted by Linklaters, we watched it happen.
Parents, teachers, sponsors - this is the courage worth backing.

The teenagers who grow fastest aren’t the most talented ones.
They’re the ones who are willing to look silly.
That was the message a dancer from DanceWest brought to our boys’ conference at Linklaters - and watching the room shift was something else. Because feeling silly isn’t a side effect of learning. It’s the actual price of admission.
Every new skill - dance, public speaking, coding, a language, leadership - starts with you not being good at it. And the only way through is to keep going while it feels uncomfortable. Adults forget this. We perform competence, avoid the things we’d be bad at, and then wonder why we’ve stopped growing.
Teenagers feel this pressure ten times harder. The fear of looking foolish in front of peers is one of the biggest invisible barriers to learning we know of.
So when DanceWest got the boys moving, fumbling, and laughing at themselves - that wasn’t just dance. That was practice for life.
If you’re a parent, a teacher, or a sponsor - the next time a young person hesitates, remember: the willingness to look silly is the most underrated skill we can give them.
