Ottilie-Schoenewald-Weiterbildungskolleg der Stadt Bochum | ![]() “I was quite nervous in the beginning and I found it hard to be in the focus all the time but once the workshop got going, I was more confident.“ (Johannes Seifert mentored a poetry workshop)
“I really enjoyed to instruct my mentees in something I really like doing.“ (Tamur Aslan, a professional taxidermist gave a workshop on the daily tasks of this peculiar job)
When planning the workshop, it was difficult to find a structure which would keep the mentees interested.“ (Gökhan Sahin who mentored an introductory work shop to the Ottoman alphabet)
“My mentor encouraged me to do something (playing a guitar) which I thought I could never manage. It was much nicer to be instructed than to learn by yourself.“ (Anonymous mentee, guitar-workshop)

Voluntary Action Camden (VAC), London, UK | ‘Without Celia’s (Mentor) support I would not have considered the possibilities open to me. It was through Celia’s encouragement and support that I felt I could go ahead and do something. By putting things in perspective, setting goals and offering ideas, considering taking the steps together we managed to set a date to have an Open Day.’ Vijya Patel, Mentee.
‘This learning and development has helped me to feel more confident whilst mentoring; delivering presentations to small and medium size groups of people and it has also helped me to understand the different learning styles for the mentees to achieve their overall goals for them to maintain sustainability within their business.’ Julie Powell, Mentor. ‘I learnt so much on the partnership meeting and this helped me in devising another peer mentoring scheme on the Community Development Service on Mental Health. My team and I are using the resources for our mentoring such as the Reflective Diary and the Role of the Peer Mentor and various others.’ Maureen Brewster, Staff & Teacher at VAC.
