SUMMARY:European expert meeting: The position of larger families with children in society. Strengths and barriers
DESCRIPTION:Using the COFACE Child Compass as a starting point\, this European expert meeting focused on the features of large families and the challenges they experience in Europe today\, taking stock of the situation in different countries and collecting good practices. The reflections were based on the premise that all children must have equal opportunities and be treated equally regardless of their family settings\, and modern 21st-century family support systems should be able to factor in this diversity of needs without discrimination. This European expert meeting was held in hybrid format (offline/online) for COFACE members\, local participants in Slovenia\, and EU stakeholders working on similar goals. \nThe objectives of this expert meeting \n\nConnect the Slovenian and European realities on families;\nBuild on the findings of the 2020 COFACE expert meeting on single parent families and large families;\nCollection of information on changing patterns in large families of today\, including blended and recomposed families;\nConsulting national/regional/local level of the civil society on innovative practices in supports to large families;\nEncourage knowledge transfer across EU countries on promoting the rights of families and children;\nDevelop common actions and positions\, to mainstream the family perspective in EU policy discussions on the European Pillar of Social Rights Action Plan\, the EU child guarantee\, the transposition of the EU Work-life balance directive\, the EU Child Rights strategy and more.\n\n  \nAbout the hosts \nCOFACE Families Europe is a European civil society network representing families (all types\, without discrimination)\, through its 50+ organisations across 23 countries\, shaping EU policy and legislation which impacts families: www.coface-eu.org. We monitor a wide range of policies which impact the lives of families and children including worklife balance\, disability\, education\, consumer policy\, migration and digitalisation. \nThe Family Initiative is an association for a family-friendly society that connects primarily parents and other people who consider for family’s needs. We have combined knowledge and influence since 1998 to make Slovenia as family-friendly state. We monitor what the government does or not in the field of family policy and inform the wider community about families and their needs. We also work with government to improve family policy on national level. The Family Initiative is a full member of COFACE. \nProgramme \nCheck out the full programme in English \nWorking languages  \nEnglish and Slovenian \nMeeting report \nKey reflections and findings \nPresentations \nInterrelated well-being of children and their families by Dominic Richardson\, Chief\, Social and Economic policy\, UNICEF Office of Research-Innocenti \nFamilies with more children in the education system by Anton Meden PhD\, a father of five and former president of Association of Parents’ Council Working Groups of Slovenia\, Slovenia \nFamily-friendly policies in Trentino  by Luciano Mafer\, Director\, Agenzia per la Famiglia\, Tento\, Italy \nLarge families: demographic relevance and targeted measures by Balázs Molnár\, Vice-President of Maria Kopp Institute for Demography and Families\, Hungary

SUMMARY:Incluso - A training and resource centre for professional staff in non-formal education
DESCRIPTION:Download the presentation slides of this webinar here. \nDate \n22nd March 2022 from 9.30-11.00 CET \nTitle \nIncluso – A training and resource centre for professional staff in non-formal education \nSpeaker \nCarole Greiveldinger\, Incluso Programme Coordinator. APEMH\, Luxembourg. \nDescription \nThe Incluso resource centre in Luxembourg offers advice and support on inclusion to non-formal education professionals and parents\, as well as to anyone interested in the subject\, in order to promote and develop inclusive early childhood education and child care services. The UNCRPD principles are fully embedded in Incluso’s everyday work in so far as they consider them to be universal pedagogical/educational principles for professionals when working with children/families (with or without disabilities). Hence\, they are fully integrated in the wide range of services they offer such as trainings\, workshops\, evaluations\, coaching\, meeting spaces. \nThe goal of Incluso is to encourage the development of inclusive approaches and practices to increase the number of childcare services implementing such an approach. It aims to raise awareness of education professionals about the subject of including children with special needs in mainstream childcare services\, supporting them in working out projects for children with special needs\, and finally developing the professional skills of childcare providers to meet the individual needs of every child (with or without disabilities) in an inclusive setting. The UNCRPD is one of the guiding documents for these trainings. For Incluso\, the basic principles of an inclusive approach to education are the following: the child as actor of their own competences\, the environment adapting to the needs of the child\, and finally equality of opportunity and equity of means\, in line with the objectives of the UNCRPD as specified in the General Comment number 4. \nMore information \nIncluso webpage \nDownload the presentation slides of this webinar here. \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.
