Europäisches Mentoring & Befriending Austauschprogramm
Mit dem durch das GRUNDTVIG-Förderprogramm finanzierten „European Mentoring & Befriending Exchange Programme“ tritt das Netzwerk Berliner Kinderpatenschaften in den europäischen Austausch mit Koordinatorinnen und Koordinatoren europäischer Organisationen, die es sich – wie wir - zum Ziel gesetzt haben, ehrenamtliche Erwachsene in längerfristige 1:1-Beziehung mit einem Kind in Form einer Patenschaft zu vermitteln. Zu dieser noch recht jungen Form des bürgerschaftlichen Engagements existieren in den europäischen Ländern unterschiedliche Organisationsformen und liegen vielfältige Erfahrungswerte vor. Da viele Organisationen noch ohne staatliche Förderung und wissenschaftliche Begleitung im Status einer NGO operieren, gibt es erst vereinzelten innereuropäischen Austausch. Im Rahmen einer zweijährigen Lernpartnerschaft mit Befriending Networks und Scottish Mentoring Network aus Großbritannien, Mentoring USA/Italia aus Italien und „mit mir“ Patenschaften aus der Schweiz, werden Workshops in allen Partnerländern durchgeführt, um den gegenseitigen Austausch des vorhandenen Erfahrungsschatz zu ermöglichen und den Patenschaftsgedanken als besondere Form bürgerschaftlichen Engagement zu stärken. Vier Workshops finden in den kommenden zwei Jahren statt, die entsprechend der Expertise der jeweiligen Partner folgenden Themen beinhalten: Themenorientierte Patenschaften und Mentoringbeziehungen (Februar 2014, Berlin) Qualität in Patenschafts- und Mentoringprogrammen (Juni 2014, Großbritannien) Auswahl und Training von Paten/Mentoren (Oktober 2014, Italien) Evaluation von Patenschaften und Mentoring (März 2015, Schweiz) Eine Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse wird als Handbuch publiziert. Außerdem ist der Entwurf eines europäischen Qualitätsrahmens für Patenschaftsprojekte Ziel dieser Partnerschaft
European Mentoring & Befriending Exchange Programme
The European Mentoring & Befriending Exchange Programme arises from the need of mentoring & befriending coordinators to exchange their knowledge and experiences across Europe in order to increase the quality of their work, generate new ideas and find solutions to common problems. Mentoring & Befriending organisations aim at matching volunteers with vulnerable people in a long-lasting one-to-one mentoring/befriending relationship. The focus of the present project is on those mentoring and befriending organsations which match adult volunteers with children. Mutual understanding, respect, confidence and voluntariness are key to such a sustainable relationship. This is an adult educational project which consists of 4 workshops (duration: 2.5 days each) held at the partner institutions throughout the 2-year period. The topics of the workshops are: - Recruitment and selection of mentors/befrienders and mentees/befriendees - How to set up a mentoring/befriending intervention and the mentors/befrienders training process - Issue-focused mentoring/befriending using the example of education for sustainable development within mentoring/befriending programmes - How to develop and run a national project quality award scheme - Evaluation and effectiveness in mentoring and befriending The workshops aim at exchanging experiences between coordinators of mentoring/befriending programmes across Europe to increase the quality of their work, generate new ideas and find solutions for common problems. In order to make the experiences and ideas available to more programmes in the future, a handbook will be written covering the key findings of each of the workshops.

European Mentoring & Befriending Exchange Programme
Il progetto EMBEP nasce dalla volontà delle Organizzazioni di Mentoring e di Befriending di promuovere lo scambio delle reciproche conoscenze ed esperienze al fine di migliorare la qualità del proprio lavoro, generare nuove idee e trovare soluzioni alle problematiche comuni. Obiettivi: - identificare la rilevanza pratica dei programmi di Mentoring & Befriending e rafforzare il ruolo dell'educazione per lo sviluppo sostenibile dei programmi; - individuare gli strumenti più adatti per il reclutamento dei volontari da abbinare ai bambini/adolescenti socialmente svantaggiati; - esplorare le sfide e le opportunità di un sistema di riconoscimento di qualità nazionale ed europeo dei programmi di Mentoring & Befriending in ciascun paese partecipante; - individuare gli strumenti di valutazione esistenti dei programmi di Mentoring & Befriending, al fine di trovare quelli più adatti per migliorare i singoli servizi; - rendere disponibili e fruibili i risultati del Progetto. Ciascun partner organizzerà nel paese di appartenenza un "workshop" su un’area tematica del Progetto; i gruppi di lavoro si incontreranno in ogni paese per pianificare le attività della propria organizzazione e programmare l'accoglienza per il workshop successivo (vitto, meeting, visite culturali, ecc.). Il progetto promuove lo scambio tra formatori provenienti dalle diverse Organizzazioni al fine di condividere metodi, materiali e tecniche. In particolare, i Coordinatori dei programmi di Mentoring & Befriending svilupperanno concetti pedagogici innovativi in materia di formazione per i volontari.

Europäisches Mentoring- und Patenschaftsaustauschprogramm
Das europäische Mentoring- und Patenschaftsaustauschprogramm dient dem Austausch von Wissen und Erfahrungen zum Thema Patenschaften quer durch Europa. Unter Patenschaft und Mentoring laufen in diesem Kontext begleitete "eins zu eins" Beziehungen von Erwachsenen und Kindern über längere Zeit. Dabei kommen die Kinder in der Regel aus sozioökonomisch benachteiligten Verhältnissen. Ziele des euroäischen Austausches sind die Verbesserung der Arbeitsqualität, die Inspiration sowie die Problemlösung von gemeinsamen Problemen. Dieses Erwachsenenbildungsprojekt besteht aus 4 Workshops (Länge pro Workshop: 2.5 Tage) welche bei den jeweiligen Partnern organisiert werden. Die spezifischen Themen sind: -Wie werden Freiwillige Mentoren und Paten ausgewählt und ausgebildet -Qualitätsmanagement und Standards für Patenschaftsorganisationen -Zielgerichtetes Mentoring am Beispiel der Nachhaltigkeit -Evaluation und Wirkungsmeessung für Patenschaftsprojekte Das Ziel der Workshops ist primär der paneuropäische Austausch zwischen Koordinatoren und Projektleitenden. Dies mit der Absicht der Verbesserung der länderspezifisch angebotenen Qualität. Auch sollen wenn möglich Synergien genutzt werden und gengenseitige Inspiration und Lösungsansätze ausgetauscht werden. Um die erarbeiteten Erfahrungen und Kompetenzen zu multiplizieren soll ein Handbuch verfasst werden. Dies beinhaltet die Kernpunkte der jeweiligen Workshops zu obgenannten Themen.
