This chapter aims to make the reader familiar with the concept of Caring Masculinities and how to teach it in early education and primary schools. The theoretical background will be explained alongside the pedagogical concept. The article will close with a pedagogic example that gives an idea of how to implement the concept in daily practice. Caring Masculinities contradicts patterns of traditional masculinities which are the basis of patriarchy. By teaching Caring Masculinities many pressing problems can be addressed simultaneously: the gender care gap, gender-based violence, and climate change. The chapter is based on the results of the European project ‘ECaRoM – Early Care and the Role of Men’ that aims to strengthen the caring aspect in early childhood education, especially focusing on boys*, and provides ways to involve it in everyday interactions and activities.
