It starts with something happening: A whole-room moment. One question the entire cohort answers at once, on their feet or with their hands, so nobody sits it out anonymously.

Then they make sense of it: We name what just happened in the room and what it reveals. Story telling does the work.

Then the idea behind it: One theme has a deep dive, usually strength or online culture, with the research behind it. The other four get named.

Then they turn it inward: One question put to the room and deliberately left unanswered. The ball is their court in what to do next.

Then they walk out with something: One clear challenge, and language your staff can pick up in pastoral time on Monday.

Whole year level in a hall or theatre. No staff prep required, no breakout spaces needed, minimal timetable disruption.

Multiple cohorts can be done across the day within this model.

It starts with something happening: A short activity inside workshop groups. Boys are interacting with each other rather than with the front of the room.

Then they make sense of it: The boys do the naming. Facilitated discussion in groups of 6-8, with your staff in the room.

Then the idea behind it: Two or three themes worked properly, chosen with you beforehand based on what is actually going on in the cohort.

Then they turn it inward: Written and private. Nobody reads it out and nobody collects it.

Then they walk out with something: A specific commitment each boy names for himself, plus follow-up questions for your team.

Roughly three hours. Needs two or three breakout spaces and staff in the rooms. This is the point at which boys stop being an audience.

Two cohorts can do this per day.

It starts with something happening: A full experiential activity with room to move and consequences that play out, long enough that boys forget they are being taught.

Then they make sense of it: Extended debrief, then groups report back to each other. The cohort hears itself rather than hearing us.

Then the idea behind it: All five themes, in rotation, each with its own activity.

Then they turn it inward: Written, then a choice about what to share, with the invitation building through the day rather than sprung on them.

Then they walk out with something: A commitment made in front of peers, and a shared reference point the cohort can touch on for the rest of the year.

Approximately 9am to 3pm. Needs multiple spaces and staff willing to be participants rather than supervisors.

The only format where the school walks away with language it can keep using.

For multiple cohorts, it needs to be across back-to-back days.
