SYSTEM-THEORY

„Bertalanffy's ideas were developed into a General Systems Theory. He defined a general system as any theoretical system of interest to more than one discipline. This new vision of reality is based on awareness of the essential interrelatedness and inter-dependence of all phenomena - physical, biological, psychological, social and cultural. It transcends orthodox disciplinary and conceptual boundaries.

Another important aspect of systems is their intrinsically dynamic nature. Their forms are not rigid structures but are flexible yet stable manifestations of underlying processes…”

POLITICAL, SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTEXT FOR LIFELONG GUIDANCE

Flexicurity is an integrated strategy for enhancing, at the same time, flexibility and security in the labour market. It attempts to reconcile employers' need for a flexible workforce with workers' need for security – confidence that they will not face long periods of unemployment.

CROSS-CUTTING• a technique especially in filmmaking of interweaving bits

of two or more separate scenes (Webster)

• linking traditionally separate or independent parties or interests    a multi-agency, cross-cutting approach on ⇒drugs (Collins)

• an issue is "cross-cutting", it suggest the image of a public policy issue that cuts across the responsibilities of a number of government departments. In order to address such an issue, governments attempt to take a horizontal policy approach to solving them, in which responsibility for addressing the issue is spread across a number of departments (via Social Media)

…BACK TO THE 60’S (ILO C122)

2. The said policy shall aim at ensuring that--

• (a) there is work for all who are available for and seeking work;

• (b) such work is as productive as possible;• (c) there is freedom of choice of employment and the fullest

possible opportunity for each worker to qualify for, and to use his skills and endowments in, a job for which he is well suited, irrespective of race, colour, sex, religion, political opinion, national extraction or social origin.

LIFELONG GUIDANCE IN THE EU

In the context of lifelong learning, guidance refers to a range of activities that enables citizens of any age and at any point in their lives to identify their capacities, competences and interests, to make educational, training and occupational decisions and to manage their individual life paths in learning, work and other settings in which these capacities and competences are learned and/or used.

Draft Resolution of the Council and of the representatives of the Member States meeting within the Council on Strengthening Policies, Systems and Practices in the field of Guidance throughout life in Europe, 14 May 2004

ROLE OF LIFELONG GUIDANCE

Guidance can provide significant support to individuals during their transition between levels and sectors of education and training systems and from school to adult and working life; to young people re-entering education or training after leaving school early; to persons re-entering the labour market after periods of voluntary or involuntary unemployment, or homemaking; to workers where sectoral restructuring requires them to change the nature of their employment; and to older workers and migrants.
