Seeing the Manosphere: David Scott School students exhibit experiences

Five David Scott School students had their reflections on the 'manosphere' on show at the Frankston Thrive Hub in a joint exhibition with Monash University PhD student Renee Molloy that was attended by Member for Dunkley Jodie Belyea.

The Seeing the Manosphere project explored the important topic through photography, personal reflections and conversations about their experiences of social media and the "manosphere". It was an opportunity to see how social media is shaping the way young men see themselves, relationships and the world around them, through photography, games and interactive resources created by the students.

About 60 people including Member for Dunkley Jodie Belyea attended the Frankston Thrive Hub on 22 October to see their work, hear their perspectives and explore an issue that is increasingly affecting young men.

The exhibition gave the students, who are graduating this year, a platform to share their experiences, have their voices heard and get people talking about the influence of social media on young men today, plus meet outcomes to complete their VCE Vocational Major certificates. 

It was fantastic to see the students confidently share their work and connect with staff from the Thrive Hub. Well done to the young men involved, and to everyone at the David Scott School , Frankston Thrive Hub and Monash University who helped make the evening such a success.
