Spotlight ON - Mentoring under Construction

Mentoring under Construction is a process of exploration and community building in the landscape of mentoring within the European Solidarity Corps. This process started in late 2020, bringing together more than 30 professionals in the field of mentoring.

Building the Mentoring under Construction Community

Entering 2021, we want to develop this community further. The Mentoring under Construction Community that we are envisioning is being built by professionals interested in raising the quality in mentoring, in search for:

• Building a common understanding of key concepts around the role of mentor: role, responsibilities, needed competences
• Personal and professional development to keep up with the emerging challenges in the field of mentoring 
• Knowledge sharing and good practices
• A vibrant network of mentors, ready to support one another, learn and develop

Target group

So, if you are a mentor or just about to embark on this journey, if you are developing and implementing ESC projects, if you are coordinating volunteers or facilitating their learning process, if you are developing tools and resources about mentoring, joining this process of building a Mentoring under Construction Community is the right place for you.
