WHAT IS A BOOTCAMP MENTOR?

  • A peer, experienced in Learning Design or Education for Sustainable Development, who provides advice and guidance as the teams progress through the Bootcamp.
  • Not there to give all the answers, but to support the teams in working through and reflecting on their designs in their context.
  • A good mentor is open and honest, non-judgemental, encouraging, positive, takes time to listen, asks questions, is trusting and trustworthy.

FEEDBACK FROM OUR MENTORS

“I have really enjoyed the content of the sessions and working with our mentor to put together a plan and keep on track. I have found it very motivating and has really helped me to understand the process so far of developing a module.”
