The MARK Workshop

Each MARK workshop is designed to reduce resistance, build trust and support meaningful engagement. The session opens with a clear welcome and shared ground rules, followed by light icebreakers that highlight shared experience without pressure to speak.

Students then explore everyday pressures and expectations through small group activities, before reflecting together on common patterns and unspoken social rules. The workshop closes with quiet individual reflection and a clear message that reinforces awareness, agency and choice.

The workshop is:

  • One 90-minute session during school time

  • Discussion-based and age-appropriate

  • Facilitated by a trained MARK facilitator (who has been Garda Vetted and holds all child protection and safety requirements)

  • Supported by a teacher in the room

What it is

  • Facilitated and question-led

  • Active, practical and reflective

  • Strength-based and non-judgemental

  • Grounded in home, school, online and community

What it is not

  • A lecture about “good” masculinity

  • An expectation to disclose personal experiences

  • An approach that shames boys’ behaviour

  • A replacement for specialist mental health supports
