Mission & Interests
Goals: The objectives of the Confederation shall be to represent the social and economic interests of families with children, in general, and large families, in particular, as the most appropriate environment for bringing up children, integrating them into society, and providing mutual support and solidarity among generations; as well as the promotion, development and unity of the movement of large family organizations in Europe.
For each member organization, the term “large family” shall have the meaning determined in its Statutes or by the legislation of its respective country. Since this size is not the same in all member organizations, the Confederation shall in general consider a large family to be one that is raising three or more children.
The Confederation shall concentrate on activities that transcend national borders, and it shall not interfere with the national, regional or local activities of member organizations.
