The award was given in recognition of activities that reflect the institution's strengths of multi-perspective, dialogue, criticality, co-planning and cross-border collaboration. Emphasis was placed on the potential for development of the whole community.

During the past year, collaborative teaching has taken place within the YFI, both within the department and within the faculty, and across faculty, academic and professional boundaries. Teaching collaborations and co-teaching can draw on the strengths of different experts, including those from the world of work. From a guidance perspective, a multi-perspective and critical approach can serve as a mirror for understanding and developing ideas, relating perspectives and also common approaches.

The announcement of the award was celebrated with students and staff over hot cups of glögi and gingerbread cookies. Discussions included mention of courses (e.g. State of the World, Social Security and Services, Client Work Skills, Ethics of Wellbeing) and practices (workplace visitors, course responsibilities and co-direction), as well as reminiscing about the past, the history and traditions of the department.

The YFI Guidance of the Year Award was established in 2023 and was awarded for the first time to Education Coordinator and Study Secretary. Last year, it was awarded to the department's tutoring activities. The aim of the award is to highlight good tutoring practices and encourage their development as part of the learning community.
