Expert Forum “Focus on Families”

ForFamily has successfully completed its mid-project evaluation and is now moving into the second half of the project. The consortium would now like to present its interim results and welcomes feedback from practitioners to guide its future research.

How do practitioners view the initial analyses and findings? What questions remain open for research? What ideas and concerns could still be addressed?

In addition, you can look forward to four workshops that will focus on different aspects of family life.

We invite you to attend the expert forum on May 7, 2026, from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the LUISE Cultural Center in Munich.

If your organization serves families and you’re interested in discussing current research, you’re cordially invited!
