Strengthening Your Parenting – Course on Child Development and Relationships
Project Description
Background:
Parents face many challenges in supporting their children’s social, emotional, and psychological development. Experiences from previous lectures show a strong need for practical advice, knowledge, and ongoing support.
Purpose:
To deliver lectures that strengthen parents’ knowledge and confidence in their role, while promoting healthy child development.
Objectives:
- Purpose
- Strengthen parents’ knowledge, confidence, and ability to act effectively in their parenting role
- Provide parents with tools to prevent conflicts and reduce the risk of social exclusion among children and young people
- Contribute to a safer and more supportive upbringing environment through stronger communication and relationships between parents and children
- Increase parents’ understanding of children’s emotional development and their digital everyday lives
Expected Impact
By strengthening the parenting role, better conditions are created for children to grow and develop in a safe, stable, and inclusive environment. In the long term, this contributes to the prevention of conflicts, mental health challenges, and social exclusion among children and young people.

After completing the training, participants will have:
- An understanding of the democratic principles of associations
- Knowledge of members’ rights and responsibilities
- Insight into how decisions are made within the association
- Familiarity with the role of the annual meeting, statutes, and democratic processes

After completing this course, participants will receive a professional certificate of completion from the African Chamber of Commerce Nordics (ACCN).
Experience
Participants will engage in dynamic group work, peer exchange, and facilitated discussions on best practices from different countries to address real-life challenges. They will collaborate to share insights and develop strategies for overcoming common obstacles in designing and delivering training in diverse contexts.
Facilitated discussions will also focus on key aspects such as managing challenging participants, employing methods that lead to tangible outcomes, and fostering understanding during training sessions. These discussions provide valuable lessons that participants can apply directly to their own work, enabling them to tailor their training approach to the unique needs of their homes, organizations, partners, or clients.
This engaging combination of practical exercises, peer learning, and expert facilitation equips participants with the tools to design and deliver impactful, inclusive, and culturally sensitive training that drives meaningful change.
