What an amazing Sunday at the Fathers' Festival!

Families came together to celebrate and advocate for paternal leave, fathers' involvement in child-raising, and equal sharing of family responsibilities.

Children enjoyed colorful face painting and story time with their parents, while parents faced off in the "Dad vs. Mom" competition, showcasing their knowledge about their children. Dads and kids created beautiful souvenirs in arts and crafts sessions, and fathers cooked delicious meals for their kids, adding a special flavor to the day.

The highlight was the "Fathers’ Competition," where dads demonstrated their childcare and chore skills. The fathers' exhibition, which shared inspiring stories of dads and families, was open throughout the day.

Marking our fifth anniversary, we are proud to continue advocating for paternal leave, fostering fathers' inclusion in child-raising, and promoting equal family responsibilities. Thank you to all the amazing families who joined us!

This event was part of the project “Expanding Choices through Family-Friendly Policies” funded by Austrian Development Agency and implemented by SIT - Center for Counseling, Social Services and Research.
