Supporting people: Mentoring in the learning city

Session outline: As has happened in companies in the past, many municipalities are now beginning to realise the benefits to be gained from mentoring programmes, whether they be in the community, in schools, in universities or in adult education. This session therefore provides an introduction to mentoring in its various guises and, through a series of assignments and exercises, provides learners with insighyts into the issues involved. It also invites them to assess their own contribution and devise their own programmes within their own cities and regions.
