1.8 Online Facts

and Figures

The Euroguidance Website is the main platform by which the Network spreads information and
provides all relevant resources on European guidance and mobility topics. All Euroguidance centres
are responsible for providing content to this website and to disseminate it to the wider guidance
community. Centres often communicate through their national website and social media platforms
which further supports the Network's online presence. During 2020, as stakeholders moved to more
and more remote / online ways of working, the importance of the provision of information in digital
form was an even greater priority for the Network.
