Share

The first edition of Men’s Matters—an event dedicated to the physical and mental health of modern men—will take place at MTP Poznań EXPO. Organized by the City of Poznań, the event is designed for men who want to learn more about prevention, everyday challenges, and ways to take care of themselves. The meeting is scheduled for Saturday, November 29, from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM in the Iglica at MTP Poznań EXPO, Pavilion 11. Admission is free.

Conversations About Health and Everyday Challenges
The Iglica will be divided into several thematic zones. In the lecture area, attendees can listen to experts and join discussions on health, mental well-being, and the pressures modern men face. Professor Dawid Murawa will address male cancer prevention and explain why men so often avoid visiting a urologist. Dr. Eryk Matuszkiewicz will discuss responsible approaches to substance use, and Marcin Skrabka will present the latest data and insights on reading habits among boys and adult men.
Panel discussions will explore depression, overload, pressure, and stereotypes surrounding masculinity. Experts will take a closer look at the difficulties faced by young men in Poznań and indicate where to find support.

On-Site Screenings and Preventive Care
The Health Zone will offer a wide range of preventive examinations. Attendees will learn how to perform proper testicular self-exams, and those interested can register for an ultrasound. Specialists will be available on-site to perform PSA tests, assess lung health, and conduct spirometry. Visitors will also be able to measure carbon monoxide levels in exhaled air, undergo abdominal ultrasound, ECG, chest X-ray, hearing and vision tests, and a full body composition analysis.
At diabetes stations, experts will talk about prevention and healthy nutrition. Information on bone marrow donation and foster care will also be available.

Workshops and Themed Zones
In addition to the health-focused program, the event will offer zones dedicated to workshops, grooming, and physical activity. Participants can learn first aid, explore the basics of rescue operations, and try ceramic workshops. Grooming consultations will be available with a barber, trichologist, and stylist. The fitness zone will provide up-to-date guidance on physical activity and healthy living.

Free Admission for Everyone
Men’s Matters is the first event in Poznań to offer such a comprehensive look at men’s health and mental well-being. Its goal is to encourage men to talk openly, identify problems early, and take conscious steps toward better self-care. Participation is free, and the full program is available HERE
