The main aim of the final conference was to mobilise all the relevant actors and interested public in the field and promote and disseminate the project results, as well promote the project website as a point of reference for the topic. The results of the project were presented at the final conference, in particular, recommendations for the integration of lifelong career guidance contents and activities in the Slovenian educational space. The plenary lectures were focused on the conceptual aspects of lifelong career guidance, and the workshops were aimed at addressing the proposed methods and approaches for the successful implementation of lifelong career guidance in primary and secondary education. The final conference provided an excellent opportunity for networking of individuals and representatives from different fields.
The final conference was organised and hosted on 17th April 2015 at the Olimia Congree Centre (Kongresni Center Olimia) in Podčetrtek.
