Good Guidance Stories 2.0

Description

"Good Guidance Stories 2.0 (""Guide"") brings innovation in the discourse on continuous professional development of Information Advice and Guidance (IAG) practitioners by blending a set of engaging and thought-provoking learning approaches and methodologies, which, as a whole, represents an original way of imagining new training routes for IAG professionals for more responsive and people-centred guidance provision. Throughout Guide an innovative learning approach focused on peer-led and social learning using highly participatory methods that not only formed a professional IAG network at a European level, it exposed members of the Community of Practice (CoP) to a constructive knowledge exchange with colleagues facing similar issues in their national context. Across Europe, labour markets are rapidly transforming through globalisation, migration, the impact of new technologies, and new elements of insecurity brought into the picture by a global health crisis that is shaking economic and social systems of many countries. In such a mutable, challenging and precarious working context, young people, especially those with lower levels of educational attainment, are potentially a vulnerable group that deserves specific actions, measures and policies. Today, young people are making more decisions than before - the rapidly changing demand for skills, increased labour market dynamism, the growing diversification and fragmentation of education and training provision is making decision-making more difficult. Accessible and well-informed guidance services are now, more than ever, extremely valuable.Whilst participation in the CoP and Action Learning Sets fostered self-reflection, active listening/questioning and problem solving capabilities, which are highly valued in today's guidance work, the 12 practitioners and service managers directly engaged understood, through direct involvement, the value of a co-production approach applied to real-life case studies production, appreciating the relevance and sustainability of this bottom-up approach which enables to re-think roles, relationships and mindsets. As a result of the four interrelated areas of innovation that underpinned the approach (see below) 81 young people (18-29) along with 65 IAG practitioners and 38 service managers participated in focus groups and interviews in which they exchanged good practice experiences and outlined current challenges and gaps, enabling deep insight and learning exchanges. (i) Applying the co-production approach to careers guidance delivery (ii) Using participatory appraisal for improving and co-constructing empowering development pathways (iii) Cross-national community of practice (CoP) and (iv) Action learning sets to facilitate CoP learning exchanges and case study co-production.The common thread that connects the four interrelated areas of innovation experimented in the project is the value of participation and interaction as key enabling factors of a successful learning experience, which ""spills over"" into a more proximal and empowering guidance experience. By fostering a culture of participation in guidance, young people as active participants in the guidance process, learn how to actively co-construct their own career in empowering interactions with others, while practitioners, through the experimentation of online collaborative learning opportunities have chance to review, question and update their daily practice in the light of a constructive and critical interaction with peers.Guide was implemented by a consortium of partners from six European countries, working collaboratively to generate five foundational outputs:(i) Methodological Concept: building the ground for the andragogy vision through qualitative enquiry to extract effective practice examples of how young adults are best engaged as active participants in the process of transforming IAG practice and provision.(ii) Blended Learning Curriculum: a Moodle e-learning platform develop IAG professional guidance practice competencies(iii) Facilitator Resource Pack: indepth suite of interlinking, flexible and inter-active materials focusing on co-production, action learning sets and community of practice methods.(iv) Case Study Learning Resource: dynamic online learning exchange and peer-led case study learning resources.(v) Effective Practice Services Guide: project ""log book"" accounting for the project's objectives, activities, results and insight for effective practice.Guide's comprehensive evaluation shows a clear and consistent picture; a great value has been placed upon the equitable and mutual approach that underpinned the project, resulting in a high satisfaction rate in terms of the partnership's performance; the quality of relationships, collaboration and knowledge exchanges, resulted in high-quality, highly transferable learning experiences and resources and generated wider accessibility - 114 student and 16 trainer e-learning accounts created."
