Dialogue Series for International (Expectant) Mothers

Want to connect with other (expectant) mothers who are on a similar journey toward motherhood abroad? Then join our dialogue sessions for international pregnant women!

Becoming a mother in a new country can be both exciting and challenging. Our dialogue series offers international (expectant) mothers a place to connect with each other, share experiences and prepare for motherhood in a supportive and warm environment.

This series was developed based on the needs expressed by mothers themselves. Therefore, we organize both prenatal and postnatal programs, each focusing on themes that match the different needs and expectations before and after birth.
