About our Newsletter “Families Corner”
Our “Families Corner” is not so much a newsletter but rather an experience! It provides regular updates on EU and national actions which support families.
You & the EU
European initiatives which affect our daily lives directly or indirectly. We inform about anything to do with the European bubble.
Creative Hub
Highlights about the great work of the COFACE members and partners to support the rights of families.
Discuss & Debate
Opinions from inside and outside COFACE to show the pluralism of views in our inclusive and democratic European societies.
Time Out
A section with elements of humour, quirkiness and creativity which are integral parts of the Families Corner experience. This touch of light-heartedness aims to prompt moments of pause, reflection, and occasional laughter.
FAMILIES CORNER #1 Paving the way for a family-oriented climate policy in Europe
Dear friends and colleagues,
As we begin the new year, this edition of our newsletter highlights key developments and initiatives advancing families’ rights across Europe. From EU policy priorities on disability and inclusion, to research on inclusive labour markets, and inspiring actions and opinions by our member organisations, these articles reflect the shared commitment to more inclusive and supportive societies for all families. Related to this, we’re happy to invite you to connect with us by registering to our our upcoming Breakfast Bytes webinar on Empowering rural women and strengthening families through community-based solutions. This webinar will focus on rural women, families, and community-based good practices, and with speakers from the Union of Hungarian Women Association (UHW).
Happy reading,
Ida Björklund
Communication Officer
