Gezinsbond vzw\, Belgium \nDescription\nAccidents can happen in a tight corner\, up a staircase with very high steps\, with a saucepan\, at the bottom of a deep bath… After all\, most homes are not made for a child’s size. Step into the shoes of a young toddler and experience as an adult with an exhibition and new technologies the dangers and discover some useful prevention tips. Get to know how Gezinsbond and Ligue des Familles went on tour in Belgium. And why not … bring it to your country. During the webinar you will get to know more about the project and get some tips on child safety. \nMore information\nwww.reuzenhuis.org\nwww.maisondesgeants.org \nDownload the presentation here.\n_______________________ \n  \nAfter a great year 2021 connecting with the COFACE Family Lab community through regular breakfast byte webinars looking at different types of supports to families (a support service\, a campaign\, a policy\, a project\, and more) we launched a new breakfast byte series again in 2022. \nIt again focuses on diverse types of family supports across the EU\, including campaigns on inclusive education\, cross-border recognition of familial ties\, family leadership for an inclusive life\, employment supports to adults with disabilities\, tips for child safety in the home\, training of non-formal education staff for working with children with and without special needs\, building energy systems which put families before profits and more. \nWith these breakfast bytes\, we aim to increase critical thinking and understanding of family support systems. The target group of the webinars is especially professionals working with families and children but is open to all (researchers\, policy-makers\, teachers\, health workers\, families\, and more). It is more important than ever to connect professionals through transnational exchanges in order to tackle the social impacts of COVID-19 on families and children. \nDid you miss our breakfast Bytes series or you would like to re-watch it? You can find it on COFACE TV\, our Youtube channel. \n

SUMMARY:Transnational Family Dynamics - online brainstorm on the state of play
DESCRIPTION:Transnational Family Dynamics\nCOFACE online brainstorm/exchange\n13 December 14.00-16.30\nCOFACE Families Europe is part of a new COST network called Transnational Family Dynamics in Europe which aims to deepen the knowledge of the growing\, rapidly changing phenomenon and dynamics of transnational families (TNF) by bringing together researchers and stakeholders from different disciplines and countries to address the need for transnational insights and to formulate policy and practice-oriented recommendations with an impact on international\, national\, sub-local and local practices. We’re keen to examine to what extent EU social policies cover this reality\, kicking off with a brainstorm with researchers and policy shapers on 13th December. \nAlthough transnational families (TNFs) are not a new phenomenon\, they have only gained academic interest in recent decades. TNFs reflect critical social\, economic and political aspects of globalisation\,  separate from\, but still linked to\, the concept of “migrant families”. The shift from migrant families to TNFs can be seen as a reconceptualisation of migration as an “uprooting” life event to the idea that migrants maintain ties to their home societies in many ways. Altogether\, research on TNFs has led to the questioning of fundamental concepts and assumptions in research\, policy and practice\, as an exclusive ‘local’ and ‘sedentary’ focus conflicts with the mobile and/or transnational life of different TNFs and/or with the transnational nature of the challenges they face. Gradually\, the concept of transnational families is appearing in public and political debates where TNF ties are seen as both a challenge and an opportunity. While research has acknowledged TNFs as an important societal actor in both sending\, transit and receiving countries\, migration politics and policies as well as the general public are not yet aware of their central role in different migration regimes and their outcomes. One of the main goals of our Action is to address the relative invisibility of TNFs and to raise awareness among the general public\, institutions and policy makers of their existence and multiple realities that impact not only on the lives\, well-being and decision-making of migrants and their families but also on various aspects and policies of the societies in which they live\, such as the allocation of social protection and healthcare. \nJoin us for this first brainstorm and exchange!
