Our approach of mentoring programs supporting the inclusion of migrants

Individualised follow-up

P1080373The specificity of this mentoring practise is the parallel between individualised and collective dimension : the mentee can find a specific support for his/her personal needs through the mentor follow-up. Together, the mentoring pair defines needs, sets up objectives and build up a project, according their interests and the skills of the people involved.

All along the program, we maintain group dynamics through ice-breaking activities, and encourage a relationship based on mutual help and trust. We encourage the mentors and mentees to form themselves as a community, and to create bridges between each other’s communities and networks.

 

– Positive approach of diversity

Mentees and mentors become share a potential of action for of their own success and future, they are called to find solutions to the needs they identify, using methods they can reuse throughout their lives.

_____________________________________________

The mentoring program implemented by Hors Pistes lays its roots and methodology in the outcomes of the MentorPower project : a partnership between organisations from different countries, who got into a collective reflection about the practise of mentoring. The aim was to make their practices evolve in order to develop a pilot program adapted to the needs of young migrants.
