EMCWUB

The EMCWUB project aims to create a Student Counselling Centre at the Royal University of Bhutan. European higher education institutions will contribute to this project with their experience in the field of vocational guidance, counselling and mental health within the framework of the student support services already in place at their educational institutions. As part of the project, a training course for counsellors will be implemented, whose participants will be chosen from the teaching staff of the Bhutanese university. A collaboration platform (repository, forum, blog) will also be developed for Bhutanese counsellors.

The project covers a wide range of models combining guidance and counselling practices from European universities with the traditional counselling model in Bhutan (such as seeking guidance from the spiritual head, the elderly community or the family member). This combination should result in a hybrid counselling model that incorporates the Western concept of counselling and the Bhutanese concept of Gross National Happiness (GNH).
