Family Skills

Family Skills

Family Skills is an Erasmus+ project that started in September 2020 and is scheduled to be finalized in April 2023. The project is based on a clear need for actions to support positive parenting, based on scientific evidence and innovative learning methodologies, which are considered necessary for parenting skills. The Family Skills project foresees a specific support and training action addressed to public and private operators (as adult educators) called to organize and manage training courses of parenting skills, and to sensitise parents' orientation and motivation to participate.

The project aims to help adults (parents, family members, social workers) to acquire the necessary skills to become effective educators; to support parents in their children's education through learning pathways and empowerment of parental skills (but also of educators, teachers, and adults in general), characterized by interactive and innovative educational kits, which use virtual and immersive reality to foster skills development; to increase awareness and knowledge of the needs and development of children and families through audio-visuals and ICT materials, with particular emphasis on virtual reality as a tool for experiential learning; to promote a public-private network ability of collaboration, to support parenthood through training, social and relational networking, also through the diffusion of self-organizing family models.

The project brings together partners (public and private bodies) from Belgium, Italy, Poland, and Romania.
