Europe's future depends on its youth. However, due to crises in many European countries, young people in particular are struggling with unemployment and lack of prospects. At the same time, according to an online-survey of EURES guidance counsellors in 2013, there is an increasing demand concerning qualified vocational, educational and professional guidance counsellors with regard to the areas of aptitude procedures, the classification of certificates into categories and evaluation of placement opportunities in the field of incoming and outgoing. Our project focuses on a practice-orientated European guidance counselling concept (EGCC), tailored to the international circular mobility of young people, who emigrate from their home country abroad as well as those who remigrate back to their country of origin, bringing along specific skills and intercultural competences. This concept will impart the basic methods of international career counselling and the essentials of the specific area knowledge as to how the international mobility processes of young people can be guided. The EGCC is also tailored to the advanced training of European guidance counsellors to answer the demand already mentioned and thus provides a best-practice model for European guidance counselling. Regarding the increasing demand for qualified guidance, the EGCC provides a best-practice-orientated manual of both guidance methods and content. It will be developed by universities with degree programmes in career counselling in close collaboration with experienced European guidance counsellors. The EGCC will be published and made available through an interactive e-Learning internet portal including a virtual classroom and e-Counselling facility. The manual will be conceptualized as a self-learning modular training programme, which allows European guidance counsellors to gather and adopt basic methods and the essentials of the area knowledge needed in the field of international guidance of young people. Simultaneously, this interactive self-learning programme is a concept for the sustainable implementation of advanced training methods for European guidance counsellors through a virtual e-Teaching classroom and serves as a training unit for virtual e-Counselling dialogues. The EGCC and its components will serve as an advanced training programme for academically qualified guidance counsellors within the framework of a post-secondary and tertiary qualification. The project focuses on three main achievements: 1. European Guidance Counselling Concept: The EGCC contains seven modules, divided into basic methods and essentials of the area knowledge of guidance counselling. They are put into a manual, which is available not only in form of an interactive e-Learning internet training programme but also in form of documents available on the internet portal. The counselling concept, developed by the Federal Employment agency in 2010 and the handbooks of the projects BD-BG and Distance Counselling can be used as a basis, which will be adapted to the specific needs of European guidance counsellors. 2. Interactive e-Learning Internet Portal: The open source portal is primarily focused on the interactive process of counselling interviews containing basic guidance methods and the essentials of the specific area knowledge of the international mobility processes of young people, offering a practical training how to guide them up to exemplary dialogue sequences. The essentials of the area knowledge will deal with different areas of international youth mobility. 2. Advanced training through e-Teaching and e-Counselling: The European guidance concept will be the basis for advanced training measures for European guidance counsellors. These measures will be implemented in form of virtual e-Teaching trainings, which will be set up as an internet-based, modular application, allowing the training concept to be implemented in an open source virtual room. These trainings enable guidance counsellors to conduct web-conferences and online meetings and carry out the advanced training methods of the European guidance concept. Furthermore the virtual classroom can be used as a platform for virtual e-Counselling dialogues between counsellors and consultants, functioning as video conference with a tool for uploads and downloads of documents needed. All three achievements will be made available in several languages, for mobile devices as well as for mobile applications. The first milestone will be a draft of the EGCC. The second milestone is the open source interactive e-Learning internet portal. The third milestone is the EGCC and its implementation into advanced training methods through the use of an open source virtual e-Teaching classroom and the implementation of virtual e-Counselling dialogues. Some aspects of the projects so far (EMAT, NICE, MEVOC, BD-BG, Distance Counselling and BeKo) will be integrated into our project and serve as preliminaries to be built on.
