ProjectsN.E.P.E.S./EFPA is currently running the EU granted ESPIL Project in the framework of the EU Programmes on Lifelong Learning from 1. November 2009 until 31. October 2010. Project Summary
The 2004 Resolution of the EU Council/ Member States (MS) on ‘Strengthening policies, Systems and Practices in the field of guidance throughout life in Europe places LL guidance/counselling at a priority level as a key strategic component for implementing lifelong learning (LLL) strategies at regional/national levels. Psychologists in the Educational System (PES) work across the entire life cycle of learning providing also guidance/counselling, education/training of teaching staff. Thus EFPA founded in 2007 the Network of European PES (N.E.P.E.S. with 20 national psychology associations in the EU/EFTA as members) in order to support LLL Policies across the EU by improved organization of PES. EFPA has developed since 2001 the European Certificate of Psychology (Europsy) funded by the EU as an EU quality benchmark for the education of psychologists , which is now implemented in several EU MS. EFPA wishes with this project proposal to
-raise awareness within N.E.P.E.S. for the impact of developments in EU policies in education/training during the last decade This project proposal intends to prepare national associations of PES to play a proactive role in the implementation of EU recommendations in education/training at national level. The project will result in an EFPA Policy Paper on Reforms in Education, Training and Service delivery of SPs including best practices in reforms. The project includes a video film competition on the image of school psychologists. Students, parents, teachers and also school psychologists will be invited to send in a video clip on the work of school psychologists.

Questionnaire 2010 about psychologists in the educational system across Europe Please click here to complete our survey about psychologists working in the educational system, providing among others counselling and guidance for school communities, in service training for teaching staff, psychological and educational assessment, diagnosis, and intervention strategies with children experiencing academic, social, and emotional problems at school.

RETAIN- an example of an EU funded project
In most European countries dropping out from education and training is a major issue. Young people lacking proper qualifications and exams have difficulties finding stable jobs and the risk of unemployment, especially long-term unemployment, is much higher among this group. Therefore education and training institutions need to develop methods of supporting the young people in a way that helps them to remain in education and to carry out their educational and vocational plans.
The aim of the project is to support young people in carrying out their educational and vocational plans. The project objectives are; • to identify successful experience and methods used to prevent drop-outs • to test and further develop best practice; • to develop training sessions that can be offered as common European work-shops/training courses or to be carried out on a national level; • to develop a manual/hand-book in drop-out prevention for teachers, trainers, mentors and guidance counsellors and • to set up a European conference on the theme of drop-outs to disseminate the results. The main target groups for the project are teachers, trainers, mentors and guidance counsellors working with young people in Upper Secondary Schools or in Vocational training. The beneficiaries will be the young people at risk of dropping out from the education and training system. The envisaged impact of the project will be an increased number of young people carrying out their education and training plans and a decreased number of drop-outs from schools and vocational training institutions. The main outcomes from the project will be a manual/hand-book for teachers, trainers, mentors and guidance counsellors on the topic of drop-out prevention and training sessions built on the manual/hand-book. There will be a conference to present the results of the Retain Project, a Leonardo da Vinci project concerning prevention of school drop out in Gothenburg, Sweden 22nd to 23rd October 2009.
