Reimagining Masculinity with Daniel Principe, Educator & Youth Advocate
In the same week the Brittany Higgins’ revelations was challenging the Federal Parliament’s culture, Daniel Principe, Educator & Youth Advocate at Collective Shout, posed a question to a group of Year 9 girls at Kambala School, in Rose Bay, Sydney – the same school making headlines because of a viral petition on sexual assault initiated by a former student..
“What does today’s society and culture value young girls for?”
It was the beginning of a day of workshops with his colleague Melinda Tankard Reist at Collective Shout, on sexualisation, objectification, and the harms of pornography.
As it turns out, there are countless young women who are desperate for a way out of the toxic impact of sexualisation on social media; and countless young men who are yearning for a new vision of manhood that’s worth aspiring to.
“They want to unshackle the constraints of toxic expressions of masculinity centred on control and dominance. My purpose is to help men reimagine healthy visions of masculinity” - Daniel Principe
Daniel’s mission is to help young men navigate the modern sexed-up world of social media and address the elephant in the room leading to an increased number of child predators online, to challenge the social and cultural messages that embody sexual entitlement and to end the normalisation of sexual harrassment in schools.
Hearing the heartbreaking stories of thousands of young people across the country he is determined to address the elephant in the room and for us all to be part of creating the positive cultural change we all hope for by inviting us to have the difficult conversations about body image, suicide and sexual assault.
Daniel is a health-professional with a background in PR, marketing and media, He’s worked as an adviser in the non-profit health sector, is the host of the Collective Shout’s podcast ‘Reimagining Masculinity’ and is a regular guest on community radio.
“A leader is someone who influences, lives virtuously, acts courageously, embodies integrity and leaves a legacy” - Daniel Principe
