Toolbox: to be or not to be a personal assistant to a family member?

The Toolbox ‘To be or not to be a personal assistant to a family member’ was developed as part of a transnational cooperation project with 4 core partners including COFACE Disability member Magenta. The toolbox is indeed a co-creation involving the insight and expertise of 150 stakeholders collected through:

• Exploratory focus groups
• In-depth focus groups
• Interviews
• Feedback group
• Workgroups: informative tools
• Test panels (in group and “home alone”)
• Illustrators, graphic designers, video editing, music, excel
experts

For an introduction to the toolbox, download the PowerPoint presentation here (in Dutch and English) and learn more about the project in the video below (Dutch):

High-Level Conference of European Ministers responsible for Family Affairs − Vienna

On the initiative of Minister Suzanne Raab, Austrian Minister for Women, Family, Integration and Media , a high level conference of European Ministers responsible for Family Affairs took place in Vienna on 13th June 2024, as part of the commemoration of the 30 anniversary of the International Year of the Family.

OPINION – Ethnic segregation of Roma children in Europe’s schools demands real action

Ethnic segregation is a widespread and systematic practice in many European countries. These practices are illegal yet continue to shape the lives of children and families across Europe. Our rights to education, housing, and health, ostensibly enjoyed by us all, remain divided along ethnic lines. For many Roma, their enjoyment of these rights is severely limited, often with the tacit support of the state.

European elections in the spotlight – time to ACT NOW for families of today

On 6-9th June 2024, Europeans voted to renew the European Parliament and new Members of European Parliament (MEP) will convene for the first time in Plenary mid-July in Strasbourg, France. While the European People’s Party (EPP), European Conservatives (ECR) and Identify and Democracy Group (ID) have seen an increase in seats, the Greens and Renew Europe have had significant losses. The Socialists have maintained around the same number of seats. The biggest increase has been for the non-aligned MEPs which are a heterogenous group, yet with most of them coming from the far right.
