| WHAT IS A MENTOR AND HOW CAN YOU BECOME ONE?
Why a MENTORIG Program? Because the talented participants in the Program have the need for support and mentoring by a more experienced person. This will help them realize their talents and skills that will help their development in a professional, emotional and social aspect. To be a Mentor to one of our talented participants you do NOT need to have experience in the creative sphere of that participant. |
The role of the Mentor requires:• positive example for the child/teenager; • guidance for the realization of the participants interests and goals; • guidance on his / her social and relationship with others; • support for building a positive self-esteem; • motivating and encouraging growth in the chosen field of development; • regular weekly meetings between the mentor and the child / young person. |
This is possible through:• the gradual establishment of trust relationships;
• organizing or involving the participants in various events for personal and professional development (eg seminars, workshops, cultural events);
• emotional support and personal example.
• organizing or involving the participants in various events for personal and professional development (eg seminars, workshops, cultural events);

• to target and recommend appropriate activities and events to the participant;
• to help him / her choose a university, internship, profession, etc.
