PROJECT
DESCRIPTION
The family is the smallest system in European society, the starting point for democracy-building and social change, and therefore deserves special support. From
of our consulting and educational work, we know that families are always looking for help with similar issues, that almost everyone is "stuck" in the same places. We asked ourselves,
whether this is the case everywhere in the European Community, whether e.g. Greek and Austrian parents have the same problems. And as with our partners, the solutions to these problems are
I don't want to look like a problem. Which ways of good communication, handling money, (media) education, reconciling family and career have parents in other European countries?
What suggestions can we get from other organizations working with parents and children, how can they improve our work?
In order to find out, we would like to exchange ideas in a consortium of DE, AT, BG, ES and GR and thus further professionalize our work.
PROJECT
AMBITIONS
Counsellors, course leaders and other people who work with families often find themselves helpless in the face of certain problems that trigger conflicts, e.g. between parents. Often you feel alone in this situation until you talk to colleagues and notice that the triggers are similar in many families. We would like to extend this conversation between colleagues to the European framework and extend it to solutions that others may have found. The transnational meetings will deal with topics that appear again and again in our counseling practice, e.g. "media education", "compatibility of family and career". The partners will prepare for the meeting by reflecting within their institution on the issues, to what extent they appear in their daily counseling and training practice and how they are dealt with in their daily work. Furthermore, the partners will research the state of research in their country and, if necessary, question individual families or describe political developments. Thus, the first expected result is a further professionalization of the staff and thus of the participating organizations, which will transfer the findings into their networks.
In the next step, we will jointly collect approaches and methods to help families deal with the topic and disseminate them among parents and those working in child and youth work. To this end, each partner organization uses its preferred and proven dissemination channels (social media, events).
A formative evaluation, as well as the extensive experience of the partners, will ensure qualified cooperation and high-quality results. Thus, the families with whom the organizations work will benefit from the professional discourse, by sensitizing them to the family issues that need to be solved throughout Europe and to the European sense of community, and by developing ideas for solutions that will help them in their everyday lives. Families are often quite well networked and the results can also be passed on here.
Last but not least, we expect an exchange on the form in which the findings can be further processed in a follow-up project through intellectual achievements and made accessible to a broader mass.
Another result of this exchange should be a dissemination plan with which further stakeholders and politicians can be reached.
ROLE OF
EDUCOMMART
EDUCOMMART will use the dissemination experience and the existing extensive network to disseminate the project idea and results and to support other dissemination partners.
