The project “Quality Assurance and Development in Educational Guidance and Counselling” (QuADEC) is the result of an european-wide investigation during the preparation phase of the network-project “Educational guidance and counselling in Vienna” which is funded by the European Social Fund and by the Austrian Ministry of Education. Models of guidance and counselling in Slovenia, Paris and Berlin have been exemplified and parts of these models have been integrated into the Viennese model. With the learning partnership this European process shall be continued within a network which is not only starlike but connects all partners. Based on the experiences of the different models in the countries/regions the central European theme guidance and counselling in education and training shall be analysed within the context of Lifelong Learning strategies in Europe and in the participating regions. The basic question of this learning partnership is how can people who are not familiar with learning be integrated into educational guidance and counselling and which role plays quality in this process. The target group of the QUADEC project are managers in guidance and counselling and counsellors within the partners networks. Through a process of exchange of experiences collaboration will be enabled and the goals of the learning partnership will be reached.
