Symposium: 'resilience of parents in a polarised society

Governorate Province of Limburg - Limburglaan 10 - 6229 ER Maastricht

Parents have to deal with the impact of a polarised society as a circumstance of their parenthood.

They can be confronted with a multitude of themes (democratic values at stake, different views on migration, climate measures, legalisation and bureaucratisation, …).

 

In today’s increasingly polarised society, parents face unique challenges as they navigate a landscape shaped by divisive issues such as democratic values under threat, differing views on migration, climate policies, legal frameworks and the growing influence of bureaucratisation. These societal tensions inevitably impact the parenting experience.

This symposium seeks to explore how parents can build resilience in the face of such polarising themes.
