Stakeholder Workshops

The purpose of AFWG Stakeholder Workshops is to share research thoughts, topics, results, and methodologies with various sets of stakeholders who are involved with work on families in the countries where AFWG researches. They aim to bring together AFWG core group members and community activists, other colleagues and researchers of family studies, policy makers and governmental and non-governmental representatives involved in law and policy making around families, and professionals and practitioners engaged in transformative work on families. An engaged dialogue on the issues among these various constituencies is believed to develop further AFWG research and its responsiveness to community concerns and illuminate theoretical frameworks and methods to community practitioners. It will also allow for in-progress evaluation of AFWG research and on-going dissemination of research outcomes.
