麻豆中文映画传媒

The workshops will begin by exploring the role of the mentor and participants will reflect on and consider their own mentor identity.  Participants are encouraged to do a pre-workshop task, selecting an image that they feel best represent their perception of the mentor role.  Literature has shown that an integral part of successful mentoring partnerships is critical reflection before, during, and after mentoring conversations so that we don’t fall into preconceptions of the mentor role which can be difficult to change (Nyanjom 2020 and Langdon et al. 2016) and a recycling of power hierarchy as the mentee progresses to mentor (Darwin 2000). This first workshop will begin this reflection and self-awareness and participants will revisit and revise their mentor competencies throughout the workshop series.

Although presented as separate workshops, the four mentoring workshop sessions are purposely scaffolded to develop mentoring practice and participants are encouraged to attend all where possible.
