What we do
Men's Consciousness-Raising Group
A safe space among men to slow down, listen and question the masculinity we were taught. A consciousness-raising path with a nonviolent, transfeminist approach.
Men's Consciousness-Raising Group
A safe space among men to reflect on masculinity, violence and patriarchal culture. We always start from ourselves: everyone shares their own experience, and the others listen without judging.
We build trust, learn to recognise emotions and communicate with empathy. We question what traditional masculinity asks of us: always being rational, competing, never showing vulnerability.
We work with role playing and peer education, with a nonviolent, transfeminist approach. We draw on Italian men's groups such as GNAM in Milan and Maschile Plurale.

What is a consciousness-raising group?
A group where everyone talks about themselves and their own experience, and listens to others without judging or analysing them. It comes from the feminist practice of starting from oneself: the personal is political.
Who can take part in the activities?
Many activities are open to everyone, with no membership needed. The Psychological Support Desk, for example, is for LGBTQIA+ people, parents and caregivers, and you don't have to be a member. The Queer Group is meant for LGBTQIA+ people living in the province. The Transfeminist Group is reserved for cis and trans* women. The Men's Consciousness-Raising Group is meant for men.
