Advocating for Mentoring
WE ADVOCATE FOR MENTORING
To provide it the recognition and support required for higher impacts in all levels of European society
Mentoring Europe advocates for mentoring on a European level
The reason for our advocacy activity is to show Europe that mentoring is a powerful and accessible mechanism that until recently hasn’t gained enough recognition in the EU. We want to show the legislators, both European and national, that mentoring is an amazing social engagement tool for inclusion, decreasing youth unemployment, and integration that should be available to all Europeans. These are all issues that have become even more current in the last few years.
How do we advocate for mentoring
Our specific aim is to make mentoring a social mechanism that is explicitly mentioned in legislation so that local and international mentoring programmes can have a better work environment to fulfil their goals, whether it be through more financing or being recognised as an alternative to traditional education.
We organise our two yearly Meet & Match events to bring together the European Mentoring community and connect mentoring organisations, NGOs, universities, businesses, policy- and decision-makers from all over Europe.
