France to use UK drama Adolescence to teach teenagers about toxic masculinity
Briefly

France has joined the UK and the Netherlands in employing the Netflix series 'Adolescence' as an educational tool in secondary schools to address issues of toxic masculinity and online harms. The French education ministry has developed five classes based on the mini-series, which has become a topic of global concern regarding the influence of misogynistic content on social media. Aimed at students around 14 years of age, the initiative features specially created teaching materials to discuss the trivialization of violence and the dangerous spread of masculinist ideologies among youth.
