Mentoring Manual published

Here it is, final product of this Erasmus+ project – the Mentoring Manual, e-book which sumarizes our experience of taking part in the project, as well as implementing the mentoring program in our own schools. It is here, published, for everyone to be free to learn from our examples.

During the project, we documented each students’ exchange. Since topics of these exchanges of groups of pupils were overlaping with mentoring implementation steps, it means that in the Manual we documented conclusions of each stage of building Mentoring Programme in partnering schools. There were many challenges and each country had its own, though everyone shared mayor one – COVID-19 global epidemics. Nevertheless, these schools managed to start their own mentoring programs in the second year of the project – just like planned – and each one of them hopes and works on transforming Mentoring programme from project activity to schools’ internal program which will be available for generations to come.

If you want to find out more about what is actually mentoring programme, how it was to build it and what might be weak points to take care about during the implementation, take a peak in Mentoring Manual which sums up complete experience of taking part in this Erasmus+ project, as well as in building internal mentoring networks. Learn from us just like partnering schools picked up the idea and implemented it with a help of coordinating school, ProCivitas Växjö, which conducts this program for years with great and countless benefits for their students.

Feel free to download the Manual and share it with your colleagues – we hope that it will inspire you to offer this kind of program to your students in order to help them have a better future and fulfilled lives.

Mentoring programme in partnering schools

One of the final tasks of the project was for each school to make a movie and a presentation about their mentoring program. What were the challenges, what was the outcome? What students say? If you are interested in finding out how the process looked for each partnering school, read (and watch) more.

Implementation of the mentoring program looked differently in each school. Private school Futura from Croatia had many challenges during school year 2019/2020 which resulted in conducting the programme just in 2020/2021. Schools from Lido di Camaiore (Italy) and Vratza (Bulgary) found their way regarding global epidemics, lockdowns and other obstacles. ProCivitas Växjö already had long tradition of working with mentoring programme which made their challenges a bit smaller and their program continued to flourish.

Each school had to make a film on the topic “Our Mentoring Programme”. Mostly, these movies sum up experiences of the teachers and students in implementing the programme. If you want to learn more how it looked like and what they’ve said, watch the videos below.
