Tomorrow Man facilitate workshops for boys and parents in schools, and men in sporting clubs, workplaces and communities.

They question traditional masculinity norms and explore how men can look after themselves, their mates and families better.

The Fathering Project had its origins in Western Australia and an Armidale group started last year. Focussing on fathers and father figures, it aimed to inspire and equip dads to begin the conversation about what effective fathering might look like and it was a big success in the west.

Armidale regional co-ordinator of the The Fathering Project is John Everett, who launched the group locally last year.

The project works with schools to provide materials to inspire, encourage and support fathers and father figures to engage with their children and be a positive influence in their life, to help young people participate in the community as independent, mature and responsible individuals.

Next Tuesday's free community event aims to get beyond the banter and explore what it means to be a man today and what it will mean tomorrow.

Blokes engage in a no-holds barred conversation about the state of man, face the stats and create a space to explore how we can look after ourselves, our mates and families better while carving out our own version of the Aussie man.

A Night With the Blokes held a similar event in Armidale last year.
