Guidelines for Counselling Disadvantaged Adults (101482-CP-1-2002-1-AT-GRUNDTVIG–G1PP)
INVITATION TO A MULTIPLIER SEMINAR 4th -5th March 2005, Alicante (Spain)
There is a widespread need to detect basic skills deficiencies during early stages of social, vocational or educational counselling. Because people who are embarrassed by their lack of literacy and numeracy skills successfully hide their deficits, advisers working in these fields have to be trained to employ strategies and methods to carefully unveil these facts without offending the social and cultural integrity of their clients. The project has developed "Guidelines for Counsellors" that will sensitise, inform and train advisers in order to detect people with illiteracy or borderline basic skills, help them to develop self-confidence, advise them on training possibilities, maintain motivation and re-orient their potential of creativity. In this Multiplier Seminar held during the final phase of the project, we are glad to invite you as experts from a country that has not participated at the project. You will have an excellent opportunity to receive in-depth information about the project and to discuss with other European experts in this field. The costs of your participation at the Multiplier Seminar (travel and accomodation expenses) will be financed by the project budget in the framework of the SOCRATES programme of the European Commission.
