Ever struggled to balance work and family life? Do you and your children like craft work? Join us for ‘Balancing Acts: Crafting Family and Work Connections’. We have an engaging and creative session for adults and children to explore the harmony between family life and work. Event highlights:

• 15-minute talk: discover what makes work places family-friendly and learn from a study about the complex dynamics between work and family life.
• Creative exploration: dive into a hands-on session using craft and drawing materials. Reflect on your own families unique benefits and challenges, and imagine changes that could support working families.
• Craft creations: express your ideas and take your creations home or display them at the festival for others to enjoy.
• Call to action: learn practical steps to advocate for family-friendly workplaces and make a positive impact in your own organisation.
• Make your voice heard: engage with our postcard activity to share recommendations with local policy makers.
