Some of you may know that a couple of years ago, I organised an event in Brighton to encourage more men to seek work in nurseries and primary schools. North Stand Chat provided a great source of opinion about what people thought about men working in these areas.
See this thread O/T A Few Good Men event - campaign for more male nursery workers and teachers
The event itself was a big success. For some of the men there it was the first time many had a safe space to share many of the concerns they had about how they would be perceived or to ask the questions they wished to ask about being men in predominantly female professions. It was also a celebration of the different qualities and energy men bring to the job. Some men got employment working with children after the event.
Two years on, I still stand for a world where men have a positive role to play in the lives of all children. Again, I would like to see whether anyone on NSC would like to come to such an event or whether you know anyone who might be interested in becoming teachers, nursery workers, play workers and childminders.
This may include male graduates, social care workers, dads, or indeed any other men looking for a new career.
The event is on Wednesday 12th October, 7pm, at Honeycroft Centre, Sackville Road (at the end of Clarendon Road), Hove, BN3 3WF.
Finally, I am currently building a team of people to make the event a success. Would you like to join? In addition, I would like the team to have experience in each of the main jobs where people work with children. So far, I haven't found any male childminders!! Does anyone know any?
