Mentoring Programme
The IRTS Networking Platform’s Mentoring Programme connects individuals and organisations from the integration of refugees through sport field through two rounds of 12-month mentorships. The objective of the mentoring is to bring together less and more experienced individuals from the field to build an international network and build the capacity of the whole sector.
It will be carried out in two rounds of 12 pairs:
- September 2020 - October 2021
- October 2021 - October 2022
For the first round, we are looking for 12 motivated mentees to be matched with respective experts from the field (see timeline below).
During the 12-month mentoring, the mentorship pairs will be engaged through an online platform and they have two chances to meet face-to-face (travel and accommodation costs covered). The mentoring pairs will be offered relevant resources throughout the programme – both relating to the IRTS field and tips/advice related to mentoring.
