Mentoring
Would you like to support a student? Born in the unprecedented context of the health crisis, which was particularly difficult for students, the Mentoring project aims to facilitate meetings and opportunities for exchange based on the suggestions and needs of each individual, and thus better support students who feel the need for such additional help. The mentor is a privileged point of contact. He/she is the person to whom students can ask questions, from whom they can obtain advice and with whom they can share moments of friendship whilst building relationships. This helps to support them at an important time in their lives when they are studying at university.
