PROJECT
DESCRIPTION
The family is the smallest system in society, the starting point for education for democracy and social change, and therefore deserves special support. In Germany 49% of marriages are divorced again, in Belgium 71%, Europe-wide 44% (https://fowid.de/meldung/scheidungsquoten-deutschland-undwelt).
After separation or divorce, families often face the problem of how to the interaction of underage children with their parents, which can be arranged for all is emotionally sustainable and at the same time suitable for everyday use.
Consultants for families are constantly reaching their limits, which are highly conflictual parental relationship and the legal regulations are given are. The ones who suffer are often the children, whose wishes and needs cannot be entered into optimally, as there is only a very manageable Choice of different contact models and support in Germany there.
PROJECT
AMBITIONS
In this project, we compare models of behaviour in Germany, Greece, Italy, Austria, Slovenia and Belgium to give new impetus to the to get advice on separation and divorce and to to be able to pass on to decision-makers. What are the legal regulations in other parts of Europe and how these can be implemented in the counselling practice implement? What works well, what can we learn from each other and better to ensure the well-being of Europe's children, also in the difficult separation situation? How can we make parents aware of their educational responsibility again and to help them, to make competent decisions?
Many of the partner organisations have already been allowed in previous projects experience how enriching and helpful European exchanges are for can be the daily counselling practice. The direct target group is thus the Employees of the organisations who, through their work into their networks as well as into the indirect target group of parents and families will wear. A written summary and a position paper are planned as tangible results that are communicated to social workers, stakeholders and relevant politicians can be passed on.
In this way, not only the individual organisations and their networks benefit from European exchange, families can also get a feel for it, that other people in Europe are as well off as they are, the feeling for the European Community. In previous projects where the individual organisations, all felt that "Europe in the small things work best" - direct human contact, and where this is not possible, the knowledge that families are similar throughout Europe leads to mutual understanding and sympathy across national borders, which are threatening to solidify again today. The view over the edge of the own country is nowadays indispensable to ensure that in a united Europe improve social work, support families in crisis situations and to help children and young people.
