CLIC – A one-day training on mentoring in the European Solidarity Corps

Download here the full training handbook

Limited to 8 working hours, on 1 single day, our training intends to offer an easily accessible opportunity to meet, at the local level, and exchange about the topic of European youth volunteering and mentoring.

The training offers the opportunity to  various stakeholders, such as youth workers, project managers, and mentors to receive basic references and develop a common understanding of mentoring young European volunteers.

It provides an opportunity to create and foster local networks between mentors and civil society organisations and empowers them to be active at the European level.

Our training is structured in 8 working slots ; each of these slots tackles one or several of our 5 training objectives:

• Objective 1– To clarify the role of mentor and raise awareness
• Objective 2– To provide space and opportunity for networking and initiate peer to peer support
• Objective 3–To equip mentors for supporting ESC volunteers and make them aware of their individual “points of attention”: creating awareness, providing advice and references
• Objective 4–To provide a better understanding of support measures, resources, and administrative aspects
• Objective 5–To motivate mentors to continue to train themselves and to look for further learning providing advice and references opportunities regarding their individual needs

Our training is conceived to be easily replicable by LEAD organisations : enabling the LEAD organizations to deliver trainings for stakeholders at their local level will significantly contribute to the quality of support offered to both volunteers and host organizations.

Feel free to use and adapt the training material to your needs, as long as you use it with care and the purpose of enhancing youth empowerment and European values.
