*Mentorship (with Special Language support)
important part in project STEMS is the creation of a supporting network that offer role models for the participating . These mentors coach and guide students in the process of integration at schoool and community .
Setting up such a supporting network and match immigrant students with a mentor is a powerful customized service, and requires guidelines.
Mentoring is a well-known tool in the world. A broad variaty of schools, organizations and businesses apply it for their clients. The way project STEMS aims at applying the tool of mentoring is unique: based on the specific topic of social inclusion/integration of students with migrant background, and based on the unicity and authenticity in people. The matches are therefore customized and powerful in effect.
