Held alongside Cedefop’s Forum Launching the new lifelong guidance framework, the 10th CareersNet annual meeting (13 May, Thessaloniki) brings together network independent experts to exchange insights, share national practices and advance cooperation and research related to guidance policies and systems. The meeting strengthens peer learning and supports ongoing work on lifelong guidance policies across Europe. 

The 10th CareersNet annual meeting brings together network independent experts in Thessaloniki on 13 May to exchange knowledge and strengthen collaboration on lifelong guidance policies and systems. Organised alongside the forum Launching the new lifelong guidance framework (12–13 May), it offers valuable opportunities for interaction and peer exchange within the community. Network experts are encouraged to attend both events to fully benefit from the programme.

Participants will engage in peer exchange, follow-up discussions and collaborative activities, sharing national practices, research, and experiences. The Meeting activities will include:

  • Follow up discussions and activities from the Day 2 January 29 meeting guided by the key themes of the framework for lifelong guidance policies and systems.
  • Sharing views, national and local practices, Cedefop and member research and other activities.
  • presenting plans for the Call for papers on changing expectations for quality in lifelong guidance amid evolving transformations, as well as presenting Lifelong guidance Inventory sections relevant to the topic.

The meeting aims to strengthen the CareersNet community, support knowledge building and identify common priorities, opportunities, and challenges for guidance systems. Discussions will build on previous exchanges and contribute to ongoing cooperation and policy development across the skills ecosystem.

Participation is by invitation only for CareersNet members.
