Acceptance of the University of Mons as a member of the UNITWIN-Network
University of Mons in the UNITWIN network “Life Designing Interventions (counselling, guidance, education) for decent work and sustainable development”
Following the visit of Professor Jean Guichard (CNAM; first holder of the UNESCO Chair for Lifelong Guidance) at UMONS, as part of a Francqui Chair in early 2018, the Methodology and Training Department team, directed by the Prof. Marc Demeuse, proposed its candidacy to join the UNITWIN network.
For more than 10 years, the team has conducted several scientific and educational projects on school guidance in French-speaking Belgium. Several publications and a thesis (Damien Canzittu, 2019) have been produced on the subject.
The team’s focus on school guidance has been an asset to their candidacy to join the UNITWIN network and the candidacy was unanimously accepted by the other members of the network. This resulted in the official announcement of the integration of UMONS into the UNITWIN network on Monday 18 November 2019.
