The aim of the workshop was to look into how
the development of an international dimension
in guidance can be supported through informa-
tion and communications technology. Various
methods of distance learning were presented
and a mutual exchange among participants was
facilitated by Mentimeter, Skype and face-to-face
discussions.

Euroguidance Flanders organised three training
sessions for guidance professionals in 2018:
“Going abroad”, “NEETs in a European perspec-
tive” and “Culturally sensitive work: guidance in
a multicultural context”. The first focused on pro-
viding insight into the many opportunities for
learning mobility and trained participants in the
guidance process before, during and after learning
mobility. “Culturally sensitive work: Guidance in
a multicultural context“, covered theoretical and
practical tools which can improve the quality of
guidance work in a multicultural context as well as
knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to work
with diverse audiences which were addressed
by trainer Mr. Mika Launikari of the Finnish Na-
tional Agency for Education.
Another training session aimed at giving pro-
fessionals an insight into the NEETs in Flanders
and Europe, as well as good practices such as me-
thods of working with this target group. Presen-

guidance professionals with expertise in working
