Completed Projects

Total Counselling

Description

The partners represent European societies with different cultures and different ways of guidance and counselling for young people and with very different population sizes. An integral part of this project has been to align the project work and partners to allow for this difference in geographical position, population size and culture, but at the same time to allow us to work towards a common goal "a comprehensive or holistic guiding and counselling methodology and service for young people".

Most if not all European societies are concerned about the future of their young people and that they find a meaningful place in society. One of the most important ways of integrating young people in a meaningful way into the society is through education. But not all young people find their place in our educational and vocational training systems, and some don't even connect with the general society and these young people are at risk of being alienated and marginalized.

One way of countering the waste of human and economical resources in our countries is by offering young people advise, guidance and counselling that can better address their needs and help them to improve their choices and decisions. When young people feel that society is concerned and offers them meaningful opportunities based on an understanding of their existential situation and needs, the likelihood of a balanced transition into society may take place.

The Total Counselling project is directed at the need for advisers, guidance counsellors and guidance services to address fully the needs of young people for the right kind of counselling/guidance, at the right time and speed, on the right issues and by the right people.

We want to ensure that guidance services, guidance counsellors and advisers connect with young people's lives in the broadest sense so that young people in turn feel connected with society and community. Furthermore we want connect young people with their own future, finding motivation and through the right learning opportunities for them to flourish in learning.
