You can be: Training for Mentors held in Skopje

Within the framework of the You can be project from 18th to 20th July in Social Enterprises Centre Skopje a vibrant and dynamic training brought together mentors from North Macedonia, France, Lithuania, and Croatia. The training was organized by Organization for Social Innovation ARNO (N.Macedonia) and was attended by the project partners VILNIAUS KOLEGIJA (Lithuania), Asociatiа Scoala De Valori (Romania), Zaklada Znanje na djelu (Croatia) and Fondation Apprentis d’Auteuil (France). The training served as a platform for presenting and testing chapters of a toolkit for Mentors, currently under development by project partners.

The central focus of the training was to introduce mentors to the toolkit that aims to redefine mentorship and foster stronger mentor-mentee relationships. Throughout the training, mentors engaged in interactive workshops and practical exercises, testing the toolkit’s chapters and exploring its potential applications in their respective mentoring practices.

Representatives from each partner country brought their unique perspectives and approaches to the table. The collaborative atmosphere nurtured an environment of learning, where mentors exchanged valuable insights and best practices from their respective mentoring traditions.

This training in Skopje served as a catalyst for mentors to unite and become empowered changemakers in their communities, nurturing the next generation of leaders and social entrepreneurs.

The You can be project is implemented by the Fondation Apprentis d’Auteuil-France (Coordinator), Vilniaus Kolegija-Lithuania, Asociatiа Scoala De Valori-Romania, Zaklada Znanje na djelu-Croatia, and Organization for Social Innovation “ARNO”- North Macedonia.
