Conference on Fathering

Presentation of the DAD project on 5th June in Vienna

Vienna (A), May 2008 - Webducation has extended an open invitation to the international conference on "How fathers-to-be discover parenting" and the presentation of the DAD project to be made there. Speakers from Austria, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, and Sweden will give an international perspective on topics such as motivating fathers to engage in baby care and the influence and acceptance of paternity leave.




The partners of the eTEN funded EU-Project "DAD - a digital guide for fathers-to-be" - will also show the localised versions of DAD-guides in Czech, Dutch, Polish, and Romanian.

The event is scheduled right after the first successful evaluation phase of DAD within the EU-Project. The great majority of users in Austria, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Poland, and Romania experienced DAD as "unique, very useful, of high informational value, easy, and joyful to use and of high socio-political impact".

As DAD touches many different fields, such as parenting, the father's role in society, parental leave in Europe, baby health, and baby safety, we have invited international experts from these various areas to present their views and perspectives.

Participation is for free.
