Family council in Chemnitz: 200 experts meet to help!

Chemnitz as well as the Mittweida University of Applied Sciences and the Saxony Cooperative State University invite you to this important event. [Chemnitz.de].
The conference program includes a number of highlights, including three main lectures, twelve workshops, a panel discussion as well as a meeting forum and an evening event. Media representatives are expressly invited to report on developments and promote exchange. The family council itself is a proven instrument of family support from New Zealand that supports families in actively using their own resources and networks to solve problems, as Network Conferences.org explains.
Family councils in Chemnitz
Family councils have been successfully implemented in Chemnitz since 2013. This form of support makes it possible to mobilize the strengths of relatives, friends, neighbors and colleagues to develop solutions together. An independent coordinator plays a central role by activating the family network. Here, families learn that more tailored and sustainable solutions are often created when they work on solving their problems themselves. During the process, specialists are invited to contribute their perspectives and specialist knowledge and, as the process progresses, an individual plan is developed and concretized with the experts.
Contact details for the event are recorded via the participation portal of the Free State of Saxony. A comprehensive data protection concept ensures that all participants' data is processed properly and deleted within three months of the event. This complies with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and shows the organizers' commitment to ensuring a transparent and secure registration process.
Future-oriented approaches
An exciting further development of the family council is the future council. Young people take on the role of host and independently invite people from their environment, including former classmates or friends. This approach not only promotes personal responsibility, but also encourages young people to actively participate in shaping their own future - in keeping with the long-term support that the family council concept pursues.
The exchange of specialists and getting to know new approaches such as the family council variants are the central goals of the network meeting. The organizers would like to make the topic of family councils better known and recruit other actors in order to reach even more families and be able to offer help at an early stage.
