​As you may already know, the goal of our Call-for-Proposal is to offer professionals, ministers and families the opportunity to participate in:

• Facilitating the identification of threats against the nuclear family and gaps in its defense, strengthening and protection
• Raising awareness on the existence of such threats and gaps
• Increasing knowledge on how to proactively act to defend, strengthen and protect the nuclear family
• Building consensus on what the threats are, a clearer understanding of the gaps, priority actions, and roadmaps
• Supporting and facilitating local, national as well as international actions

In addition, we welcome proposals that align with our theme and tracks; while making efforts in attempting local and/or regional contextualization.
