Duo Family Training

Duo Family Training is intended for intercultural couples expecting a baby. The English-language training consists of a peer family workshop and an online course (self-study). The family workshops are held face-to-face in Helsinki and online. Intercultural couples living in Finland and abroad can participate in the online meetings.

The family workshops are led by an expert and cover different aspects of a intercultural family life: the relationship and parenting, and the development of the child's bilingualism and identity. In addition, the free-of-charge training includes Love and Parenthood in an Intercultural Family guide (PDF) that is also available in Finnish, Spanish, French, Russian and Thai (PDF).

DUO FAMILY TRAINING ONLINE COURSE

Picture
Duo's Self-study Family Training online course (in English) has been designed to offer an insight into the fascinating world of the intercultural couple and their journey into parenthood. The course includes a number of features that are designed to help couples through the process of having and raising children in an intercultural environment. Thematic articles are coupled with lecture videos, homework assignments, audio and video clips, quotes from intercultural families, discussion topics and bonus material in order to give the couples a rounded self-study course. 

A number of topics that intercultural families have to deal with, such as combining different cultures, bi-/multilingualism and child’s language development will be discussed, as well as the very crux of the concept. The course will take into account expert opinion on the subject, as well as first-hand accounts and information from people who are parents of intercultural families themselves.

The course is free and you can take part whenever and wherever you like. All you need is a computer, an internet connection and speakers.
