Burgenland education group expands support for parents

The Burgenland Educational Institute is expanding its parent education programme to help families manage everyday life, ORF reports. Its courses cover balancing family and work and making family life more affordable.

The institute says parents face challenges in a complex world, including issues they may not have encountered in their own childhoods. Managing director Judith Tscheppe said the aim is to make daily family life easier.

The programme includes family budget planning, digital media use, nutrition, mental health and addiction prevention. A new project, “Balancing family and work,” focuses on how family responsibilities and employment interact.

The institute also works with partners, including a university college of teacher education and the Diocese of Eisenstadt.
