Guidance 4.0

European countries are having intensive discussions on digital guidance services
and how they can be best applied to providing information, advice and guidance
in a cost-efficient, but customer-friendly manner. Therefore, it is important
to involve both the potential users and the service providers in the design,
development, delivery and evaluation of these technologically advanced services.
The Euroguidance Centres are mainly interested in how digital guidance provision
can support learning mobility and how the digital skills and competences of
guidance professional can be enhanced in this regard. What are the new online
tools in guidance? How is the increased use of online guidance influencing the
accessibility of guidance services? To what extent is the use of new technologies
changing the demands being placed on guidance practitioners? These questions
were raised at events such as the Cross-Border Seminar in October, organized by
Euroguidance Serbia, the European Guidance Week in September in Tallinn and
national events such as the Austrian Euroguidance Conference in November.
