Guidance and answered numerous questions from
the audience., followed by Mrs. Anne Holm Nord-
hagen, University of South-Eastern Norway, who
gave two presentations. The first was about ethics in
career guidance based upon the national framework
of quality for career guidance in Norway, and the
second one was on ethical reflection with an intro-
duction to the ethical reflection cards, developed
in Norway. The cards served as a basis for many
interesting discussions among the participants. M.

phy, University of Southern Denmark, ended the day

The topic of the conference and the programme
in 2022 was arranged with the help of a reference
group from the Regional Guidance Centre, who
wanted the conference to focus on the ethical
dimension of guidance. The Danish ethical principles
for career guidance were created back in 2006 and
new knowledge was welcomed. As some of the
reference group had heard an excellent speaker
from Norway, and Euroguidance Sweden had
recommended an excellent Swedish speak, it was
decided to organise a Scandinavian seminar in the
three Scandinavian languages. © OeAD/APA-Fotoservice/Hörmandinger
