On the 6th and the 7th of October, 2009, a dozen of global family scholars and practitioners from Europe, the United States and the Middle East are meeting in the Presidential Palace in Valletta for a colloquium highlighting the importance of strengthening marriage and the family. They will be presenting on topical issues related to marriage and the family putting a strong emphasis on family policy and how family well being is beneficial for society in general.
The Cana Movement , Malta in collaboration with the Centre for Family Studies at the University of Malta have been working over the past year to organize this world class colloquium The funding body for this event is the Doha Institute for Family Studies based in the Middle East (Doha, Qatar). The vision of this Institute is to establish a global study centre that will provide the region and the world with academic research, interdisciplinary studies and policy initiatives to support the efforts of governments, international organisations, UN agencies and civil societies to develop and implement family development plans, policies and programs. This colloquium is very much in line with the vision of the Doha Institute.
