The UNESCO Chair of Lifelong Guidance and Counselling was founded at the University of Wrocław, Poland, in 2013. The Chair is part of the UNITWIN/UNESCO Chairs Programme and is dedicated to promoting an integrated system of research, training, information and documentation activities in the field of educational and vocational counselling. It seeks to facilitate networking and collaboration of scholars affiliated with the high-level, internationally recognised universities and other higher education institutions in Europe, Africa, Latin America and other regions of the world.
The areas of lifelong career counselling that the Chair particularly addresses include the fostering of equal opportunities, development of vital career-related competencies, occupational mobility and assessment of various counselling projects and programmes. Open to diverse practical models, research frameworks and methodological paradigms, the Chair will organise conferences and symposia to provide opportunities of sharing theoretical reflection, practical findings and research results, to disseminate the knowledge on lifelong guidance and counselling and to enhance the applicability of the scholars’ expertise. Internationally developed and engaged, the Chair will produce a transnational network of resources, development and research, as well as training and professionalization of counsellors, recognising at the same time, the cultural diversity of the participating countries. The multilateral collaboration will guarantee the transfer of knowledge across borders, advance the development of innovative counselling curricula and facilitate the provision of such modern-technology-dependent services as distant learning.
The Chair’s major objectives are:
- To create a widely accessible platform of career counselling methods, techniques and tools;
- To promote exchange of information on career counselling through the foundation of the Observatory, international conferences and open lectures;
- To design and develop vocational counselling curricula and support the professional development of career counselling specialists and practitioners;
- To coordinate research projects and programmes, supervise doctoral dissertations and organise Visiting Lecturers’ exchange;
· To collaborate closely with the UNESCO under relevant cooperation programmes.
