Encounter Project in autumn 2022 continues to find partner schools and Hobby organizations with teens who want to share their experiences with a natural mentor. We continue until the end of November 2022


The ENCOUNTER project also works with partner schools to evaluate and validate the outcome of the project, which involves teachers reflecting their results based on their practice. This will result in the development of a methodology for Mentoring in schools. This methodology will be appropriate to involve children and adolescents in the subject of mentoring, for example, under the new Well-being Framework Educational Programme at schools, where strengthening resilience and promoting the overall wellbeing of a pupil is one of the objectives of this new educational framework. Mentoring to improve resilience and overall positive development of adolescents contributes as one of the supporting factors in the lives of children and adolescents
