Tools
- Student Lab: Students of the European Center collected some games and online tools for mentors and mentees to connect, to communicate and also to have fun together. Digital tools and online activities for our mentors and mentees
- MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership. MENTOR’s cornerstone publication, the Elements of Effective Practice for Mentoring™, details research-informed and practitioner-approved Standards for creating and sustaining quality youth mentoring programs and consequently, impactful mentoring relationships. The Fourth Edition, released in September 2015, reflects the most up-to-date research, practice, and thinking in the mentoring field.
- EMBEP: European project called EMBEP facilitated the exchange between stakeholders from the mentoring and befriending landscape in Europe, mostly between umbrella organisations and practitioners. EMBEP have summarised the main outcomes of the project for you in this handbook. This handbook for us is an important step towards a shared European treasure trove of experience for mentoring and befriending.
- Sirius European Network of Educational Support Projects: With this handbook, the member organisations of ENESP want to share their experience in organising mentoring programs which respect and acknowledge the cultural backgrounds of the mentees. As the network itself, the handbook profits strongly from the exchange across country borders.
Policy Notes
- Social Rights Pillar: The European Pillar of Social Rights is one of the documents issued by the European Union in its pursuit of ensuring the fundamental rights of all of its inhabitants. This booklet may seem small but it is extremely relevant as a Union-wide Action Plan based on it, is currently being made. Its specific importance for mentoring programs and networks come in several potential ways.
- Action Plan on Integration and Inclusion 2021-2027: In November 2020, the European Commission (EC) published, after a round of open consultations, an Action plan on Integration and Inclusion. While this document is non-binding, it sets up a lot of mechanisms for the now-current policy period 2021-2027. It is more comprehensive than the previous EC strategy on integration as it includes not only migrants but also EU citizens with a migrant background.
