The European Lifelong Guidance Policy Network aims to assist the European Union Member States and the Commission in moving European cooperation on lifelong guidance forward in both the education and the employment sectors. The purpose is to promote cooperation at Member State level on lifelong guidance and to propose appropriate structures and support mechanisms in implementing the priorities identified in the Resolutions on Lifelong Guidance (2004, 2008). The ELGPN was established by the Member States and the Commission is supporting the activities of the network in 2007-2010 under the Lifelong Learning Programme.
The main aim during the initial phase 2008 was to establish the network infrastructure and through the peer learning activities to identify in more details the areas of guidance where national developments can be enhanced by means of the ELGPN. During the second phase 2009-2010 the work is shifting to these thematic activities. The mandate of the ELGPN was strenghtened in the 2008 EU Council Resolution on better integrating lifelong guidance into lifelong learning strategies, which invites the Member States and the Commission, within their respective competences, to strenghten European cooperation on lifelong guidance, in particular through the ELGPN, with the support of the Lifelong Learning Programme, and in liaison with Cedefop.
