Gardeners running workshop with children

The Family Forum

We are unique amongst Cambridge Colleges in discussing contemporary issues affecting families (and mothers in particular). Every year we host a lively forum where everyone can explore complex topics and learn from experts in specific fields (as well as from each other): we encourage an atmosphere of inclusivity, and welcome alumnae and their guests, male or female, to join us. Subjects to date have included:

  • Mental Health and Young People
  • Modern Families in the 21st Century
  • Fatherhood
  • The Challenges of Raising Teenagers
  • Issues Affecting Working Mothers.

This year's Family Forum will be taking place on 25th January 2025 and will take the theme of Connecting families and nature: the mutual benefit this brings for children and the environment

Our expert speakers: Dr Samantha Friedman; Dr Perah Alter and Dr Elsa Lee will share their knowledge and experiences of how nature has, and will continue to impact, children. The day will conclude at approximately 15.00 following a panel discussion with questions from the floor. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, or simply interested in the topic, this event will provide valuable insights.

All welcome. Please follow the link to book your place.
