Experts: Yulia Bilyk, Tetiana Shvets, Inna Rakhmistriuk, +4

Mastering mentoring skills and using them to help younger generations is one of the tools to make a real, tangible impact on Ukrainian education.
This educational series was created to enable as many people as possible to provide quality support to Ukrainian schoolchildren who are facing many hurdles on the way to quality education. Over the course of 12 episodes, educational experts will introduce you to the basics of mentor-mentee interaction, tools for building rapport and effective communication with children. In the series, you will find useful information on how our brains learn, what motivates and demotivates us, and how fostering a growth mindset can have a qualitative impact on the results we expect from ourselves and from children. Today, it is more important than ever to help students deal with traumatic events and manage their emotions. That's why the first aid skills, which are also discussed in the series, are essential. We believe in the potential and strength of each and every one of you.

 

The educational serial was created at the initiative of the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine within the framework of the “StudMentor”academic mentoring programme for students from the NGO "Teach4Ukraine" and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) in Ukraine and with the support of the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) for the Diia.Education platform.
