Madrid-based civil society organization founded in 2001 that seeks to increase the awareness towards the recognition of the key role of the family among policy and decision makers, as well as the general public, by means of generating proposals and alternatives, cooperating for social development, and promoting the dialogue and network building between institutions sharing our aims, either at a national or international level. The Institute has a national scope of performance but aspires to develop at both a European and Latinamerican scale, for which we are working together with similar organisations in different European and American countries.
