As they solve the mysteries posed by organizers, they will incorporate your message and easily participate in missions. The activities may also involve their children. It offers men a chance to bond with family and community.

Set up an event where their contribution is in the form of sharing their skills. Men are natural problem-solvers. Engage them in activities that allow them to offer their skills for free instead of endless lectures and sit down events. When they engage and explain an engine or how an electronic works, their mission will feel satisfactory and valuable since they are able to solve communal problems.

Engage in sports. Men are natural lovers of sports. Engage them in a game and they will always turn up for your missions.

Organize events that allow them to explain, show case or deal with gadgets. This could include sound systems, car engines and other such gadgets that are found at home or in work places.
