Workshop Description
Opportunities and limitations of Green Guidance. Is Green Guidance a solution to today's challenges in educational and career guidance?
In the workshop I will give an overview of the current challenges and changes Austria and Lower Austria are facing (shortage of skilled workers, climate change, mobility, consequences of the pandemic, old-age poverty, migration, ...) and the impact of these challenges on the work in educational counselling and career guidance.
One way to meet these challenges is the model of green guidance. Reflections and concrete examples of how green guidance can be embedded in the everyday work of educational counselling and career guidance (strategies for counselling, "green jobs" project, ...) and where the limits of this model currently lie from our point of view.
I am looking forward to the exchange and discussion about the challenges and different approaches to solutions.
