IGCAL project partners publish the online Handbook
By Javier Ganzarain, AFEdemy
Improving Guidance and Counselling in Adult Learning (IGCAL) was a two-year project of Erasmus+ KA204 – Strategic Partnerships for adult education, funded by European Union, which increased the quality of adult education by innovating effective ways of lifelong guidance and counselling. The aim was to develop a pedagogical tool to map background learning parameters of adult learners, to expand and develop the skills of counsellors who support these adult learners and, therefore, break new ground of lifelong guidance and counselling.
The good practices gathered by the consortium served as a basis for the pedagogical tool Handbook of the Best Practices to Map Background-Learning Parameters with national perspective. The online Handbook has just been published in English (IGCAL_Online_Handbook_EN.pdf), Dutch (IGCAL_Online_Handbook_EN.pdf), Finnish (IGCAL_Online_Handbook_FI.pdf) and Portuguese (IGCAL_Online_Handbook_PT.pdf).
