POOL OF MENTORS

Since 2015, the ” Creative Mentorship” programme builds and develops a network of interested mentors, outstanding professionals from different fields. They recognize mentorship as a method of lifelong learning and exchange of knowledge and experience, so they want to share their experience and support young and prospective professionals.

By building a wide network of potential mentors, the ” Creative Mentorship” programme is able to provide better support for the mentees. At the same time, knowledge, skills, contacts and other resources that are available to mentors through the Pool of Mentors, can be precious for their personal and professional development, as well. The Pool of Mentors currently has more than 100 members from different professional areas. Only a portion of them takes part in the active Creative Mentorship cycle. Other members have the opportunity to participate in the mentorship training, workshops, lectures and meetings, and to provide short-term support as co-mentors if needed.
