The municipality of Olesa de Montserrat will host a workshop series focused on modern fatherhood, under the slogan 'Growing Up with Children'. This initiative, organized by the Department of Gender, Feminisms and LGTBIQ+, aims to provide a space for reflection and learning for men who are fathers or are preparing to be, with the goal of fostering active participation in caregiving, education, and family well-being.
Through four participatory sessions, the challenges and opportunities of parenting from a co-responsibility perspective will be addressed. Topics include the father's presence in daily life, their role in each stage of child development, couple relationships, and work-life balance with personal projects.
“"Being a father today implies much more than fulfilling a provider role: it means actively participating in caregiving, education, emotional management, and family well-being."
The sessions will take place on Tuesdays, September 22nd, September 29th, October 6th, and October 20th, 2026, at the Santa Oliva Library. The initiative is led by EntreHomes.
Key dates are: 09/22/2026 ('The caring father: co-responsibility and daily presence'), 09/29/2026 ('Growing up with children: the father's role in each stage of upbringing'), 10/06/2026 ('Couple, sexuality, and communication after childbirth'), and 10/20/2026 ('Between haste and purpose: personal needs, work-life balance, and self-realization').
Registration can be done through the Entrapolis platform, linking to the Olesa de Montserrat City Council's page.
