RISING

A Mentoring Project to Raise Motivated Migrants

Project description

The RISING project wants to integrate the motivational benefits of mentoring into the training and educational curriculum offered to migrants. RISING will seek to provide a set of tools, complementary to projects already being carried out, in order to help mentors fulfilling their roles and to provide additional support for mentoring providers.
