How To: Deconstruct Misogyny with Young People
Split Banana How To Online Taster Trainings - Summer Term 2026
This summer, our How To online taster training sessions are responding directly to the challenges that teachers have shared with us: how to talk about porn and how to respond to misogyny.
They are designed to move from crisis management to proactive education, aligning with the latest Violence Against Women and Girls strategy and new 2026 RSE statutory requirements.
Our How To training sessions are for anyone working with young people: teachers, youth practitioners, healthcare professionals, social workers.
They work well as a duo, so we are offering 1 for £35 or 2 for £50. Get in touch if you want to book both.
Session #2: How To: Deconstruct Misogyny with Young People
This training is designed to help you understand why some young people demonstrate misogynistic views and behaviour, and how this can be challenged and prevented.
We want to support you to build a holistic and long term approach to deconstructing these attitudes, alongside young people, and getting to the roots underneath. We believe this will enable safer, more consensual, enjoyable and respectful relationships between young people.
After the session, you will have…
An improved understanding of the bigger picture: the different cultural, technological and economic factors that are contributing to a particular brand of misogynistic beliefs currently impacting young people’s relationships.
Tools to respond to and dialogue with young people expressing misogynistic or patriarchal attitudes, in ways that build openness, empathy and critical thinking, rather than further division.
An opportunity to reflect specifically on what a preventative and youth centred approach could look like within your role, and the ways in which quality Relationships and Sex Education can support this.
