Doha Debates: What should the future of family be?

Family structures are shifting faster than ever. Around the world, people are questioning what family means, who’s included and whether traditional models still serve us today. In an era of shifting values, economic pressure and new social norms, what should the future of the family look like?

In this episode of @DohaDebates, host Imran Garda is joined by Chika Esiobu, Paul Dolan, Wendy Wang and Shareefa Fadhel, alongside students from Qatar Foundation’s Education City and beyond, for a majlis-style debate on the evolving meaning of family and how it shapes identity, society and belonging.
