Grandparents

Program for active grandparents who want to contribute to the education of their grandchildren

When, after many years of married life, the children leave the family home, the husband  and wife meet again in that conjugal space exclusively for two. New lights and some possible shadows can appear. This period  should be discovered and analysed by the couple so that married life  continues to be fulfilling and generate an authentic family life of love and unity.

The grandparents who participate in this family education course discover that, although the years have passed and society does not sufficiently value all that they can still contribute, life still has many things to teach them. One of them is the need that new generations have for their life experience; another is the indisputable contribution that grandparents bring to new families; and more importantly, to show  when true maturity is reached, their capacity to give has no limits.
