Often when we think of families, we think of the typical nuclear family that consists of a mother, a father, a couple of children and perhaps a dog.

In our time, there are of course many other family structures - from single mothers and fathers to homosexual couples and their children, to extremely large families living under the same roof.

What are the characteristics of the many different family structures and how do they differ from each other? What are the benefits of the new family structures, and what can they learn from one another?

Keynotes on the topic of family structures look into these questions and try to provide answers.
