ELFAC has organized a seminar on Saturday 8th December: “Declaration for a European Network of Family-Friendly Municipalities” with the participation of experts on indicators of quality of life and representatives of good practices from several European municipalities.
Alongside economic factors, the quality of life is an important component of the attractiveness of a territory because it attracts individuals and companies, generating capital for development. The 2018 Family Festival wants to deepen this pair by analyzing the policies on family wellbeing with an international look. It is only through the comparison and exchange of good practices that good family support programs are born, the only subject able to guarantee to the community growth and social, cultural and economic development: “If the family grows, society grows”.
