Atilla Yoldaş is one of the most important voices of our time. He shines a spotlight on the issues close to his heart, such as anti-racism, gender equality and combating destructive macho norms. As part of Jönköping Municipality’s Suicide Prevention Week, we are hosting a free talk on macho culture.

The talk, based on Atilla Yoldaş’s debut book Mansboken – från en kille till en annan, explores the impact of macho culture on young men through personal experiences and facts. It addresses topics such as sex, relationships, violence and mental health.

Through a mix of stories and exercises, the talk raises awareness and engages participants in critical discussion about the effects of macho culture and how it can be challenged.

The talk is aimed directly at young men and boys, and indirectly at everyone else who is forced to grapple with macho culture.

Please note that the talk will be held in Swedish.
