Welcome to the 1ststrongblendedfamilies conference
We are proud to announce that The Malta Foundation for the Wellbeing of Society, in collaboration with the University of Malta, will be organising the 1st International Conference on Strong Blended Families here in Malta on 6 and 7 February 2025.
We would like to invite scholars, researchers, and practitioners from all over the world to participate!
Why Blended Families?
Our inspiration for this conference on blended families emerged from a national, representative study of families in Malta, which indicated a high rate of repartnering among separated and divorced persons, many of whom had children. Our subsequent qualitative research among blended families has brought to the fore the joys and challenges shared by blended families in the Maltese social context. But what is the same and what is different in other cultural realities?
