Project Summary

The family is the smallest system in European society, the starting point for democracy building and social change, and therefore deserves special support. We know from our previous project that families across Europe are in conflict about similar issues, that almost everyone is “stuck” in the same places. There we have exchanged ideas in a consortium of DE, AT, BG, ES and GR, collected the results and prepared them for publication.
In “Europarents 2020” we will be building on these results: we will first carry out a survey in order to be able to orientate our further steps exactly to the needs of parents. We will then work together to develop a game that facilitates and stimulates communication on difficult issues in families. Experience shows that many parents are already relieved when they realize that they are not alone with their problems. With the game to be developed, they can not only get a feeling for the fact that some topics affect families throughout Europe, but also come into direct contact with approaches from other countries and can reflect on them in a playful way.
Furthermore, the needs analysis, the further exchange and the joint development of the game will lead to an additional professionalisation of our organisations. One target group are the employees of the organisations who, through their work and finally through the distribution of the game in the vicinity of the organisation, will carry the results into the target group of parents and families. In this way, not only the individual organisations benefit from the European exchange, but also the families can get a feeling that other people in Europe are similar to themselves, a feeling for the European community, and at the same time find new solutions for family conflicts. In previous projects in which the individual organisations have worked together, everyone had the impression that “Europe works best on a small scale” – 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 nowadays are threatening to become stronger again.
