Programme

Work - Family - Values: Tensions and opportunities

The way we live our life today, at work and in the family, is filled with uncertainty. A work place no longer comes with a long-term guarantee, personal relationships change and traditional structures can suddenly break apart. For many in today’s society the primary aim is to achieve the best possible material standards in life, through personal realization in our career, often at the cost of the family.

What is the influence and the acceptance of the family in the world of work? Is the family, with its traditional values, still relevant today? Should we do something to help (re)unite family and work in society?

Which values are important to us? How can we live them out? How do these values influence our work and family life?

Where are the battlefields, where the new opportunities?

These are the subjects we would like to talk about together, by discussing thoughts and exchanging experiences.
