Mentors Initiation Journey Itinerary
A training design for mentors of volunteers in ESC projects. It is a 6-day training addressed to either current or future mentors of European Solidarity Corps volunteers, but also to other support-persons involved in European volunteering projects.
Aims of the tool
The training aims to offer a space for understanding and defining the support-role in these projects, but also to equip the support-persons with the needed tools for building support-schemes that are adapted to the varying needs, personality and evolution of the hosted European volunteers.
