Stories of Success

The fifth biennial 'Working with boys, building fine men' conference

July 4,5 and 6 2007, the University of Newcastle, New South Wales

What a success! The fifth biennial Working With Boys, Building Fine Men conference was absolutely wonderful. Our keynote speakers ( Melvyn Davis, boys2MEN Project, UK; Michael Gurian, Gurian Institute, USA (keynote pre-recorded exclusively for conference participants) and Andrew Fuller, Inyahead, Australia) really challenged delegates with their thought-provoking concepts and perspectives.

The quality of teaching in Australia was exemplified by the incredibly high standard of the presentations in forums, workshops and breakout sessions. Many of these presentations are now available on the Stories of Success web page.
