Aims & Scope
Competing visions and paradigms for lifelong learning co-exist at national as well
as international levels. The fact that one ‘official’ discourse may be dominant at any
one time does not mean that other ways of thinking about learning throughout the
life course have disappeared. They are alive and well in a range of critical traditions
and perspectives that retain their power to engage and persuade.
In this series, contributors critically analyse issues in lifelong learning that have
important implications for policy and practice in different parts of the world.
Evidence, ideas and the polity can mobilise political thinking in new directions, as
policy makers search for the new ‘big idea’. In turbulent times, ideas for better
connecting system worlds and life worlds in the pursuit of broader and more just
forms of meritocracy can focus compellingly on learning as a lifelong process
which links, rather than separates, the older and younger generations and incorporates
the realities of working lives.
The series aims to engage scholars, practitioners, policy-makers and professionals
with contemporary research and practice, and to provoke fresh thinking and
innovation in lifelong learning. Each volume is firmly based on high quality
scholarship and a keen awareness of both emergent and enduring issues in practice
and policy. We welcome work from a range of disciplines and, in particular, inter-
and multi-disciplinary research which approaches contemporary and emerging
global and local challenges in innovative ways. Through advocacy of broad, diverse
and inclusive approaches to learning throughout the life course, the series aspires to
be a leading resource for researchers and practitioners who seek to rethink lifelong
learning to meet the challenges and opportunities of the 21st Century.

Series Editors’ Note
The Lifelong Learning Book Series was launched in 2004 and by 2016 had pub-
lished 22 volumes on topics of international significance. This year marks the start
of a new phase in the life of the series, in which we aim to engage our expanding,
international readership in Rethinking Lifelong Learning for the 21st Century. The
present book and forthcoming volumes offer fresh perspectives and critical analyses
of emergent and enduring issues in lifelong learning that have important implica-
tions for policy and practice around the globe.
In selecting books for the Lifelong Learning Series, we recognise that competing
visions and paradigms for lifelong learning co-exist at national as well as interna-
tional levels. The fact that one ‘official’ discourse may be dominant at any one time
does not mean that other ways of thinking about learning throughout the life course
have disappeared. They are alive and well in a range of critical traditions and per-
spectives that retain their power to engage and persuade. Evidence, ideas and the
polity can mobilise political thinking in new directions, as policy-makers search for
the new ‘big idea’. In turbulent times, ideas for better connecting system worlds and
life worlds can focus compellingly on learning as a lifelong process which links,
rather than separates, the older and younger generations and incorporates the reali-
ties of working lives.
Interventions in Career Design and Education: Transformation for Sustainable
Development and Decent Work contributes significantly to contemporary debates
about how to support citizens individually and collectively in building their futures.
The book addresses not only how career guidance can support the achievement of
fulfilling working lives. As the sub-title hints, transformations of work itself are
considered necessary elements in the search for equity and social justice. The edi-
tors and authors bring a variety of lenses, ideas and imaginative solutions that will
engage the interest of researchers and scholars, professionals, practitioners and
policy-makers worldwide.

1.1 Origins and Implementation of the UNESCO Chair
Project
The objective of the UNESCO Chair in Lifelong Career Counseling is to implement
an international network for the development of research, training and professional-
ization in this domain. It aims to constitute a forum on schemes and interventions in
the domain of lifelong career and life construction, create conditions for sharing
information about their effectiveness by setting up an observatory and organizing
international symposia, develop training programs for professionals in this domain,
coordinate research programs involving co-supervisions of doctoral theses and
