In Celebration of Men II - The Nominations

In Celebration of Men II for International Men's Day 2011

Tiemo's second In Celebration of Men event for International Men's Day will consist of:

* Interactive seminars and discussions with expert speakers across the areas of men's health, education, fatherhood and motivation and entrepreunership.

* The opportunity to listen and learn from the experts and network with delegates attending.

* The voices of youth. They will be heard to as we seek to listen to young delegates views on these important subjects. The voice of young boys and young men is rarely listened to by opinion formers and leaders. At this event they will be heard.

* Honouring some of the men who have done most to push forward the development of boys and young men in these areas.

11.11.11 Update: Tiemo was a guest on Omega FM 10.41FM on Saturday 12th November 2011 on the 2-4pm show. Tiemo was also a guest on Guess Radio that evening.

KEY THEMES FOR THE DAY

HEALTH AND LIFE EXPECTANCY: Why are boys around the world more likely to die before the age of five and why do boys in every continent look forward to a much shorter life than girls? What are the reasons for boy’s higher likelihood of suicide? What action can we take to give boys the best possible start in life and help them live longer, happier, healthier lives?

EDUCATIONAL FOCUS: Why are boys in richer countries underperforming girls and also less likely to be in education, and why are tens of millions of boys in poorer countries still not completing a primary education? How can we address truancy, and poor literacy rates which leave boys prone to adult unemployment, substance abuse, obesity, depression, and poverty? What action can we take to focus on boys’ education in way that gives them the best possible start in life and closes the gaps between girls and boys and rich boys and poor boys?

RIGHTS TO FATHERHOOD: How can we give boys a right to family life that gives them an equal opportunity to know and experience both their father and mother and ensure that their role as a future father is equal to a girls role as future mother. What actions can we take to give every boy an equal right to fatherhood?

REAL LIFE CHOICES: How can we make sure that every boy has opportunities to make a range of positive life choices in terms of work, family and leisure and reduce the number of boys whose life choices are limited and end up poor, illiterate, unemployed, homeless, imprisoned and isolated? What action can we make to help every boy get the best possible start in life and make a positive transition from boy to man that makes the world a better place for everyone?
