International research in family education today represents a crucial scientific field, addressing major social and societal issues.

This Pre-Congress is an important milestone for the scientific community: a moment for reflection and sharing in view of the 20th AIFREF Congress. It is a bridge between nearly half a century of research and the new educational challenges of our time.

Family education and parenting support cannot be studied independently from the social, cultural, political and economic contexts in which they are embedded. This is why research in this area adopts a inter-multidisciplinary perspective, open to a diversity of knowledge and practices.

The same applies to school education, which today is called upon to reinvent itself in an inclusive, participatory, and transformative way.

Les recherches internationales en éducation familiale constituent aujourd’hui un champ scientifique essentiel, porteur d’enjeux sociaux et sociétaux majeurs.

Ce Pré-Congrès représente une étape importante pour la communauté scientifique : un moment de réflexion et de partage en vue du XXe Congrès de l’AIFREF. Un pont entre près d’un demi-siècle de recherches et les nouveaux défis éducatifs contemporains.

L’éducation familiale et le soutien à la parentalité ne peuvent être étudiés indépendamment des contextes sociaux, culturels et économiques dans lesquels ils s’inscrivent. C’est pourquoi les recherches dans ce domaine adoptent une perspective inter-multidisciplinaire, ouverte à la diversité des savoirs et des pratiques.

Cela s’applique également à l’éducation scolaire, appelée aujourd’hui à se réinventer dans une logique inclusive, participative et transformatrice.

Le ricerche internazionali sull’educazione familiare rappresentano oggi un ambito scientifico cruciale, capace di offrire chiavi di lettura profonde su dinamiche educative che attraversano famiglia, scuola e società.

Questo Precongresso costituisce un’occasione significativa per la comunità scientifica: un momento di confronto e riflessione in vista del XX Congresso AIFREF. Un ponte tra mezzo secolo di studi e le nuove sfide educative del nostro tempo.

L’educazione familiare e il sostegno alla genitorialità vanno compresi nella complessità dei contesti sociali, culturali, politici ed economici in cui si manifestano. È per questo che la ricerca in tale campo adotta una prospettiva inter-multidisciplinare, aperta all’incontro tra saperi e pratiche.

Lo stesso vale per l’educazione scolastica, che oggi più che mai è chiamata a ripensare i propri modelli in chiave inclusiva, partecipativa e trasformativa.
