About Us
Your marriage and family is the most important business you have in hand. Family Enrichment courses help you form your own ideas and opinions as to what is best for you, your marriage and your family life. It gives you an opportunity to think about what matters and how to build and strengthen your marriage.
Training and continuing professional development is common in virtually all professions and FEI believes that parents should be similarly trained and have ongoing input for their role as parents. The focus is on responsibility, freedom and love.
The methodology of the courses is essentially participatory, consisting in the discussion of the cases in small group meetings formed by various married couples.
These courses help parents learn a solid and effective method that helps them put their educational mission into practice. It also creates a support network among participating families.
Based on the Case Study Method pioneered at Harvard Business School, parents are able to learn together about real situations that challenge families.
The teams meet under the principles of freedom, respect for the others opinions and friendship. These are the focal points that promote participation. The cases are analysed and debated in the general sessions. These sessions are moderated by experts on each theme, which is also supported by “technical notes” given to participating couples.
