Innovative Quality Mentoring for Social Inclusion

This project is a progressional project from the initial Grundtvig Partnership.  The partners in this new programme are led by Kilcooley Women’s Centre and include:  Association Life Volunteers, Sivas (Turkey), Schools Inspectorate Alexandria, Telorman County (Romania) Oz Zips, Spisska Nova Ves (Slovakia), ACDC Suceava (Romania) and Kaleidoscope Enterprises, Hatfield (England).  The partners carried out research in each country and developed a common curricula to train community mentors.  They developed a ‘Train the Trainer’ course, to enable the project to be sustained at its conclusion.  12 Trainers are now in place in each partner organsisation, and they have trained 20 trainees respectively.  The impact of the project is 120 trained community mentors assisting socially disadvantaged people in their localities.  Part of the project was ‘blended mobilities’ where learners from each partner group got the opportunity to travel to other countries to experience short term training opportunities abroad.  The Kaleidoscope partner left the project in February 2017.  Partners will be disseminating the results of the project over the final months of the project, which concludes in September 2017.
