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. From our counselling and educational work we know that families repeatedly seek help with similar issues, that almost everyone is “stuck” in the same areas. We have asked ourselves whether this is the case everywhere in the European Community, whether, for example, Greek and Austrian parents have the same problems. And what the solutions to these problems look like with our partners. Which ways of good communication, of handling money, of (media) education, of balancing family and career have parents found in other European countries? What suggestions can we get from other organisations working with parents and children, how can they improve our work?
In order to find out, we would like to exchange experiences in a consortium of DE, AT, BG, ES and GR and thus further professionalize our work.
Experience has shown that many parents are already relieved when they realise that they are not alone with their problems. Therefore, we will disseminate the results of the project via an online article describing how family issues are dealt with in a European comparison and pointing out various solutions. This complements the main objective, an additional professionalisation of our organisations. The direct target group are thus the employees of the organisations, who through their work will carry the results further into other organisations and into the indirect target group of parents and families. Thus not only the individual organisations benefit from the European exchange, also the families can get a sense that other people in Europe feel the same way as themselves, the feeling for the European community. In previous projects in which the individual organisations have worked, 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 across Europe, leads to mutual understanding and sympathy across national borders, which today threaten to re-strengthen. In a follow-up project, the consortium is planning to further exploit the similarities and solutions that have been found.
