The home is the place where the family returns each day to be fed. Both physically and emotionally. Fine words do not make full stomachs, but healthy attitudes to material things can and do sustain us. Here is our latest post on the BeHomeBlog.

Last week, our Patron and Chair in Architecture at Nottingham Trent University, Professor Gamal Abdelmonem delivered a keynote address, on behalf of Home Renaissance Foundation (HRF), in the United Nations (DESA)’s first regional Experts Group Meeting (EGM) in Cairo in order to prepare for the 30th anniversary of the International Day of Families, which is held every year at the United Nations.

New Communication Project. The incorporation of technology into the home is a crucial issue in the day-to-day life of households so it is necessary to continue generating material that serves to guide families, as well as to share the feelings of parents and experts.

Our chairman Bryan K. Sanderson, CBE tells the latest news on the occasion of the quarterly newsletter. He highlights some of the most important milestones of the last three months but also announces what is to come.

Images of families fleeing their homes are sadly not that rare on our screens – from Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Afghanistan to name only a few from recent years. The events of the last week in Ukraine have brought the reality and the horror of such images much closer to home for many of us who live in the West.

At HRF, we are delighted to share with you the message sent by the Vice-Chancellor of Nottingham Trent University. We also celebrate the Prize and our partnership. And we would love to continue working with our patron Professor Mohamed Gamal Abdelmonem.

Today the content of this post should be different. Our event was unfortunately postponed because Covid19 forced us to do so. We hope to be able to celebrate this launch at a later date and we thank all those who have been working to make this possible.

On Monday 7th February we will be launching our latest book 'The Home in the Digital Age' at the House of Commons.

Fear of technology in the home should not paralyse us, much less leave us behind. We must be well aware of its advantages and disadvantages in order to use it correctly and get the best out of it.

Bryan K. Sanderson wishes you a very Happy Christmas on behalf of the HRF team and gives a brief recap of some of HRF's most significant activities carried out in 2021.
