reflect on and define their mentoring skills through exchange with peers ,
discuss possibilities of applying the skills in their work communities.
enlarge our community of practice.

Weekly chats will be held: to discuss content and pre-defined topics, build rapport, and create a sense of community.

Our moderators for the 5-week session will be experienced mentors who have worked in a range of different contexts.

There's still time! If you are having difficulty accessing any aspects of the course, don't hesitate to ask one of the moderators for help.

Hi Laura and everyone! I am trying to catch up to day after an exhaustive busy week. I am sorry! It won't happen again as things at works have already been calmed down.
