This Meeting, created because people were conscious that there was no event in Rome to bring together all the organizations that for various reasons deal with family, also has also become an opportunity "for networking, assistance and guidance," according to Emma Ciccarelli, President of the Forum of Family Associations in Lazio. "A moment of beauty that tells of the family's splendor, while recognizing the difficulties of everyday life. The Meeting raises enthusiasm and strengthens commitment, because it comes from the base and is composed of the strength of the associations and of the families who participate in them. We want to assure that the family is spoken about not only in the context of current events, but because it is the most important resource of each person's life and must be presented as such."

 

The broadly diversified proposal includes panel discussions, workshops, testimonies, literary cafes and talk shows. This year, there will also be novelties: food tasting, a photo contest on the theme of the Meeting and the prize for an "Azienda family friendly" (family friendly business), indicated by the employees themselves, which highlights structures that open pathways of flexibility for the promotion of reconciliation between family and work.
