Apply to become a mentor or mentee

‍

Application period for the 1st MovED by Mentoring is now closed and we are processing applications. You can contact us to join for waiting list or as a volunteer.

‍

Why did we create this programme?

‍

Ukrainian teachers are faced with an enormous challenge

They have to face bombed schools and traumatized children - alone. In the MovEd by Mentoring programme, Finnish teachers will support Ukrainian teachers emotionally and professionally in one-on-one relationships. Read more in our blog.

‍

When you help a child, you can change the world. When you help one teacher, you can help hundreds of children. We want to create peer-to-peer -connections between teachers from Finland and Ukraine to support and empower their important work in both countries, especially in Ukraine.

To do this we have launched a unique programme called MovED by Mentoring

‍

About the Programme

‍

MovED has now a call for recruiting both mentors and mentees for MovED by mentoring. The mentor and mentee are matched based on the need from the mentee, the Ukrainian teacher.

In the beginning of the mentoring programme, the mentee will define a goal that she would like to achieve during the meetings and the role of the mentor is to support reaching this goal. Both participants learn by doing and are supported by MovED team.
