Poika is an award-winning, not-for-profit NGO, which focuses on gender-sensitive education of boys and young men. Based in Vienna, Austria.
Poika was founded in 2008 regarding the rising need of boys and young men to reflect traditional gender roles and male stereotypes. Poika offers workshops for boys and young men to support their development from child into manhood. The workshops are held in schools and social centres, where boys and young men can explore and reflect on their identity/ies under expert supervision. Themes range from violence-prevention, gender equality, sexuality and masculinities to job-coaching and life-perspective planning.
