Inga Stenumgaard works for NAV (the Norwegian public employment service) in Innlandet county, Norway. In her role she connects unemployed people and the labour market to help them to find long-term employment. She attended an e-school on career guidance and social justice at the Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences where she created the resource presented in this post.

Before attending the social justice course, I did not know very much about social justice in career guidance. After a while I got to grips with it and thought that it was a shame that my colleagues, my fellow students’ colleagues, and other people around the world were missing out on the opportunity to think about social justice.

I thought about how I could make something to spread the ideas of social justice in an easy way without disturbing in already busy workday. I came up with the idea of creating a deck of cards. They can be read in few minutes and can be used to give people a small dose of social justice.

Read more about the cards and how to use them below. Hopefully, you will add new cards by yourself after a while.

The deck of cards

This is a tool to understanding what social justice is and how it can be used in career guidance. The deck of cards contains small, but important pieces of information about what social justice is and how you can implement it with your colleagues and clients. If you find this interesting, I strongly recommend you read more about social justice and add more cards to the deck on your own.

By picking one card a day and spend 2-5 minutes reading, discussing or acting I hope you will gradually understand more about social justice and again inspiration for your practice.

The deck of cards is divided into three categories:

When printing I recommend thick paper. Print on both sides of the paper. In that way the cards come out with text on one side and the category color on the other side.

I hope you enjoy the cards!
