Mobility & Guidance Counselling

The mobility counselling provides an adapted response and concrete proposals to mobility projects: its format, duration and destination. During the interview, the guidance professional use concise and transparent methodologies. This interview must be carried out within the framework of an ethic of neutrality and confidentiality for the benefit of the consultant.

Research shows that 4/5 of the young people who have gone on mobility encounter a problem at one time or another during their stay. Faced with this observation, several theories have been developed (trigger theory, the concentric circles approach, the intercultural sensitivity development model, etc.) which thus make it possible to raise the awareness of consultants and give them warning points. These alert points will thus enable consultants to be better prepared for and adapt to cultural differences.

This preparation is essential but sometimes insufficient. Support during mobility and follow-up is sometimes necessary.
