Allyship on Trial – A Courtroom-Style Debate
13 May 2026
Culture Change & Skills Hub
How it works:
• Female host acts as the judge
• Male panelists split into Defence vs Prosecution
• They debate the realities of male allyship, including:
o “Are male allies doing enough today?”
o “Is fear of saying the wrong thing stopping progress?”
o “Do male allies expect praise for the bare minimum?”
o “Should bystanders be held accountable?”
• The audience acts as the jury, voting live
• A final verdict is issued, followed by co-created solutions
