From the Boys - podcast series by William Ellis School students launches - Camden Rise

From the Boys, a podcast series made by a group of students from William Ellis School, is now available on all major podcast platforms.

The series was created by 16 Year 10 boys during their work experience with Middlesex University in July. They spent a week learning media production skills and recording conversations about what it means to grow up male in Camden today. The project began in May with workshops for the whole of Year 10, exploring boyhood, masculinity and the pressures young men face.

On 22 October, more than 100 guests joined a launch event. Families, staff, funders, friends and supporters of the school, as well as those working in the boyhood and masculinity space, heard the boys talk about making the podcasts, what they learnt and what they hope the series will achieve, as well as answering questions from the audience.

The school and the boys are delighted that the podcast series is now live, and encourage all with an interest in supporting young men to listen.
