Project 2.3 - Support system for new Conferences

Pillar outcome: Establishing and Connecting Diverse Conferences

Progress

The Project Team is well-advanced in producing materials that support a national mentoring program and is expected to finalise their work by April 2025. The national mentoring package will include

  • a description of a Mentor;
  • the qualities of a successful Mentor;
  • the qualities of a successful Mentee;
  • what expectations a Mentee should have of their Mentor;
  • the difference between a coach and a mentor; and
  • establishing a Mentor / Mentee process.

To develop these materials, the role of Bailly with Youth in the Society has been an excellent reference point.

Did you know? The term 'mentor' originates in ancient Greece, with Homer's classic poem, 'The Odyssey', in which Odysseus appoints a guardian called Mentor to look after his son in his absence, as a teacher, guide and friend.
