EKS in collaboration with primary school Londýnská
The diverse world of career guidance – theory vs. practice
This competition contribution is a professional publication for career
counsellors. The main objective was to create a modern and inspirational
publication for both starting and experienced career guidance practitioners.
The publication is a collaboration among experts from 3 European countries

and was published in two language versions (Czech and English). Pupils from
the primary school Londýnská were involved in the preparation of the book
(their contributions are part of the book), and they also tried out a wide range
of professions related to the book production process. As part of the project,
pupils learned all about the work of illustrators, typographers, writers, editors,
translators or proofreaders.

a questionnaire and, based on their responses, posters called ‘The way the
girls see it’ and ‘The way the boys see it’ were created and displayed at the
