CONCEPT
Within urban settlements, an unprecedented change in family life and structure has occurred in the past decades. The shift in nuclear family structure, the rise of single-parent families, the increasing role of women in the workforce correlated to a growing childcare demand, and the isolation of the elderly are now well-known phenomena.
Considering these challenges and taking into account that 2024 marks the 30th Anniversary of the International Year of the Family (IYF+30), the Inclusive Cities for Sustainable Families Project (ICSF) is organizing this 5th Annual Technical Meeting in Brasilia, 10-11 April, with the sponsorship of the Secretaria de Estado da Família e Juventude do Distrito Federal (Brazil).
Signatories of the Venice Declaration, as part of the ICSF Project, have been invited to present selected good practices on social policies with a family perspective.
Presenters will be urban development technicians who design, implement, and evaluate policies with a family perspective as an effective way to follow up on the 10 points of the Venice Declaration.
The outcome of the Meeting will include policy recommendations and highlights good practices for all the Venice Declaration Signatories. It will be a key capacity-building instrument to make progress on the Inclusive Cities for Sustainable Families Project. It will focus on Megatrends proposed by the United Nations Secretary General to guide the preparations for the 30th Anniversary of the International Year of the Family in 2024.
The Meeting will also deal with:
– The Annual Monitoring Report submission, improvement, and update.
– The Good Practices Platform recently launched as a useful tool to share good practices on social family policies among Signatories.
– The Challenges and Opportunities on how Signatories understand and adapt themselves to ensure resilient and healthy family units in urban settlements.
