The first online gathering of the 2024 Mentoring Project took place on Tuesday (7), an initiative that is designed to support the European Athletics community by enlarging the participants' networks, exchange ideas, best practices as well as knowledge.
There were twelve Member Federations represented across 14 Mentor-Mentee pairings with 46% male and 54% female participants.
Each Mentor is a well-established athletics leader and their Mentee a potential future leaders with their Member Federation or within the sport.
The pairings are encouraged to have regular meetings and there are wider meetings with the whole group of participants to discuss broader topics such as leadership and leadership styles.
All Mentees work on a specific project, where their Mentors share advice and experiences in the specialist field.
