There will be two civil society organizations, in each of the five partner countries, invited to test the mentoring and e-mentoring process (10 organizations in total).

The aim of the mentoring will be to prepare and guide the first-time international project manager and the organization he / she is working for to realize its first international cooperation project.

The mentors will be experienced international project managers and management bodies members of the adult learning sector civil society organizations.

The mentoring process will be realized in the period: October 2019 - March 2020.

Participation in the mentoring process will be free of charge.

After finalizing the mentoring process, both the mentors and the mentees will be asked to evaluate the cooperation and give recommendations for possible improvements.

Ready-to-use mentoring programs, both for the adult education organization managers and first-time international project managers, will then be available at the SUPPORT PORTAL.

The mentoring and e-mentoring services will also be included in the offer of the 'International Support Network' dedicated to the first-time international project realisers.

Each mentoring provider in each partner country decides, if parcicipation in the trainings and mentoring process are interconnected, or not.
