• Participation in projects focused on:
  • Support of the European dimension in provision of guidance services.
  • Improvement of guidance services.
  • Exchanges of guidance practitioners.
  • Promotion of example of good practice in guidance.
  • Animation of co-operation between providers of guidance services at national level.

The Unit supports publication activities focusing on educational and vocational guidance, organises information events and specialized events, participates in conception work related to the development of the Czech guidance system and cooperates with the international network Euroguidance.
