The meeting, conducted by psychologist and psychotherapist Alessandro Ricci and by the lecturer in Educational Psychology Zbigniew Formella, will focus on the increasingly important role that grandparents play within contemporary families: a presence that can represent a valuable emotional and educational resource, but that can also generate misunderstandings and differing educational perspectives.
The objective will therefore be to reflect on the necessity of building a genuine educational alliance between parents and grandparents, respecting the roles and responsibilities of each.
Free entry until all available seats are filled.
