REGISTER FOR THE FAMILY TRAINING
Duo Family Training is intended for intercultural families whose partners have been born in different countries and very often speak different native languages. The aim of the Duo Family Training is to support families' resources and coping with the baby by increasing parents' know-how and strengthening their social networks already during pregnancy. The family trainings are peer meetings and don't include birth training or information about how to take care of a newborn baby.

The English-language training is professionally-led. Duo Family Training combines peer and informational support, provides research and experience-based information on intercultural relationships and parenting, parents well-being and supporting children's bi- and multilingual development. The training also provides an opportunity to meet other intercultural families expecting a baby and to experience the empowering effect of peer support. Trainings are provided face-to-face at and online. Online trainings are open to intercultural couples living in Finland and abroad. Participation is free of charge.  A self-study online course is also available. 
​
Register online for the training you wish to attend and we will contact you closer to the start of your group with further information. More information about the training and the schedule can be found below on this page.

Please note, that Duo Family Training is intended for intercultural families whose partners have been born in different countries. The family workshops are peer meetings and don't include birth training or information about how to take care of a newborn baby.

Would you like to have Duo Family Training also in your own locality? 

The Duo Family Training has been running for 15 years and has received excellent feedback from participants over the years. The training is led by Familia staff with long experience of working with intercultural families and first-hand experience of intercultural family life and parenting.  
The free-of-charge training also includes Love and Parenthood in an Intercultural Family guide (PDF) that is available in Finnish, Spanish, French, Russian and Thai (PDF).

Face-to-face training offers the opportunity to meet other intercultural families and make new friendships much easier than online groups! That's why we want to organize family training in new locations as well. If you are interested in Duo Family Training and would like it to be arranged face-to-face in your own locality, please contact family and couple activity planning officer Tanja Del Angel, tel. 045 78355008.


 

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.
