Familiendialog.NRW
How are families in North Rhine-Westphalia doing? What concerns them in everyday life? And what support would they like? These are precisely the questions addressed by Familiendialog.NRW - an open discussion format in which families can enter into an exchange with the state government.
The format, organized by the Ministry of Family Affairs of North Rhine-Westphalia, is closely linked to the Familienbericht.NRW. The reporting is accompanied by dialog events with families in all their diversity. These offer space for exchange, questions and new perspectives. They make visible what moves families - and make it possible to further develop family policy measures in a tailored and effective manner. The experiences, wishes and feedback of the participants are incorporated into the report, which is planned for 2026.
The dialog focuses on the different needs of families in NRW: rainbow or foster family - every perspective counts. At the Family Dialogue, concerns are heard and topics are explored in depth together. The events offer space for encounters and participation. The focus is on specific questions: What is going well? Where do we need to change? Which offers help in everyday life - and which are still missing? The aim is to work together to create momentum for a more family-friendly future.
