Welcome to International Men’s Day!
We are celebrating contributions and experiences of men by covering family, well-being, mental health and community. What is important to them? What has changed over their lifetime? How has spirituality influenced their outlook to life and their capacity to face the challenges which came their way? Interested? If yes, please join us to this special event with inspiring men.
