From the 19th to the 21st was held on Innsbruck The Kick-off meeting of Tandem Now project.
The project aims to create role models for migrant youth or youth from ethnic minorities throughout of the vocational career, using experience and results of the initial project Tandem.
It wants to contribute to the effective training of mentors by understanding the needs of young people and local contexts and to develop “blended mentoring” (a mix of face-to-face and online activities).
Young people belonging to ethnic minorities often have no role models who can lead them to a future career, to get in touch with people who succeed professionally despite their migratory background would be for them encouraging and constructive.
Tandem Now is a Leonardo Da Vinci transfer of Innovation under the Lifelong Learning Programme, It will contribute with best practise examples the training of mentors adapting to the needs of the young people and into each local contexts
After a needs analysis to understand young people’s needs and how mentors can respond to them and a Research of mentoring concepts in each country will be created a Curriculum on Blended Mentoring.
The Curriculum and the Blended Mentoring will be tested.
