The family remains the epicenter of values, the foundation of society and the primary source of identity, belonging and care. The rising insecurity affecting the stability of the family and the need for family cohesion of the social fabric of the society are being tested in ways never imagined. Technology has connected people across borders and created opportunities to share, work and transform ideas into practical actions for family livelihoods. Strengthening family stability, promoting parental responsibility and intergenerational dialogues is the emphasis at the 2027 conference. When families are secured and children protected from all forms of insecurity, food, environmental threats, social unrest and violence, people become more focused, industrious and happy as potential drivers of development in the society. This year's theme and sub-themes take all participants through a journey of research, networking and collaboration.
