Call for reserchers team - mentoring and coaching in Europe

Context

Starting with 2020, the Romanian National Agency for European Solidarity Corps together with the SALTO European Solidarity Corps initiatied a process of exploring the current realities of mentoring in the ESC programme called Mentoring Under Construction (see details HERE). 

In time there was developed a community building process taking stock of the mentoring landscape within the European Solidarity Corps (details what has been done so far can found HERE)

Alongside with mentoring for volunteering projects, coaching for solidarity projects are among the most important support tools offered in the European Solidarity Corps.

Why this call for researchers?

To further explore and deepen the understanding of mentoring in the European Solidarity Corps programme, the SALTO ESC together with the Romanian National Agency for European Solidarity Corps, Austrian NA and the French National Agency are looking for a team of researchers to look for synergies among the similar processes, the second layer of the research will gather relevant data related to coaching as well.

This research work shall connect the existing offers from different National Youth Agencies towards supporting mentoring and coaching processes in Europe, with the already existing know-how in the field (various organisations have produced resources for mentoring and coaching over the years) and with the current needs of mentors and coaches that are expressed in the field. The outcomes will serve as a common ground for further proposing activities that support and increase quality in mentoring services offered under European Solidarity Corps.
