Abstract

Many adolescents feel disoriented when planning a life path that will lead them serenely and consciously into the future. The problems of our world, wars, climate change and difficulties in interpersonal relationships, can tempt them to withdraw from everyday life and isolate themselves. Adults who accompany adolescents in the process of education must therefore respond to the challenge of guiding them by developing educational and teaching interventions that create experiences of participation, discussion and sharing, which can restore the desire and determination to act individually and collectively as a political and cultural hallmark of living in the world. This holistic and value-based approach is the principle behind this field research carried out as part of the PRIN National survey on guidance in schools. Research-training for the testing of a guidance model and the development of an online community.
