Men need mentors and leaders. And as leaders we bear great responsibility.
This is an exclusive summit for men’s leaders. To meet, to network, to engage and to exchange ideas on how to shape the future of men in Europe.
In 2022, Paul Robson and Alexander Bard got us off to an excellent launch of the EMLS in Denmark with great results (e.g. looking at different types and purposes of men‘s work in categories or „realms“)
In 2023, we intend to take it up a notch by bringing you the EMLS in conjunction with Europe‘s largest men’s gathering: the long-running MANN SEIN.

Who the EMLS is for
Active men‘s leaders and experts in the field who want to exchange thoughts and ideas on how to shape the future of men. Men who are leading or facilitating men‘s work on a regular basis and do at least one of the following:
– actively run a men‘s group or organization in real life or online
– currently be an active mentor/coach specializing in men or boys
– organize men‘s events like men’s conferences or gatherings
– be a writer of books and/ or articles on men‘s issues
– be a public speaker or podcaster who is regularly speaking on men‘s issues

Summit Agenda
– introducing and working with the different categories or „realms“ of men‘s work, building from the results of the 2022 summit
– the topics of relationships, sexuality and men‘s health and how we address them in men‘s work
– discussing a shared vision for the future of the summit, MANN SEIN and European men’s events
