Workshop 3 Guidance and counselling

• Recommendations

2

• In order to recognize and appreciate the variety
  of practices in adult educational counselling
  across Europe, support is needed for creating and
  strengthening networking between researchers,
  practitioners and policy makers.

3

• There is a need
• to establish stronger links between
  professionals from the different fields who
  provide guidance and counselling for adults.
• to collect examples of good practice concerning
  national training and qualification pathways and
  adult educational guidance practices across
  Europe.
• to encourage action research in order to learn
  more about the effects of adult educational
  guidance.

4

• Moreover,
• the active involvement of adults in the creation
  of qualification frameworks for practitioners in
  guidance and counselling should be encouraged.
• systems of validation of non-formal and informal
  learning for persons who have provided guidance
  to adult learners informally for a long time
  should be secured.
