Nelson Men’s Groups present
International Men’s Open Day 2025
Join us for a relaxed day of workshops, speakers, panel talks, food, music, and connection — all created by men, for men.
Theme:
Who are we as men in 2025? What moves us, what challenges do we face, and how can we do better?
This is a chance to explore these questions together in a supportive, down-to-earth environment.
What to expect:
Hear from men who’ve walked similar paths — as well as counsellors, social workers, and inspiring speakers.
Learn about local men’s groups and how they can help you grow, connect, and find new direction.
Meet other men who value honesty, reflection, and real community.
If you’re keen, we’ll be forming a new men’s group from this event.
For dads: Are you a dad or solo dad?
We’ll have dedicated topics and panels for fathers, and we may start a new Dads’ Group from this event.
Kids are welcome — we’ll make sure they’re looked after and entertained.
Panel discussions
1. Breaking Up Well
How to navigate separation or divorce with care — what can go wrong, and how to avoid turning it into a war.
2. Dating in 2025
Perspectives from younger and older men — plus women and gay presenters — on the realities of dating today.
This is a men-only event, though some female presenters will share their insights.
