What is Mentoring?
The term ‘mentoring’ is derived from Greek mythology. Odysseus entrusted his son Telemachus and his household to his friend Mentor before setting off for Troy. The goddess Athena also accompanied Telemachus in the guise of a mentor.
Mentoring therefore stands for the support and counselling of a less experienced person (mentee) by an experienced person (mentor).
The A² mentoring programme is designed as peer group mentoring, in which students of human medicine and dentistry are accompanied on their path to becoming a doctor.
What's A²?
A²
The A² Mentoring Programme consists of four elements: mentoring, training, networking and coaching.
The comprehensive offer of the A² Mentoring Programme addresses both the personal development of the mentees and their mentors. Through targeted parallel and joint development, A² contributes to optimising the teaching and learning culture at our faculty. In addition, the programme imparts sustainable skills for the further development and strengthening of one's own self-competence as well as one's own social-ethical and communicative competence for both teachers and students.
With our innovative mentoring approach, we focus on the strengths of the individual in line with Humboldt's educational ideal. By reflecting on their own actions and being, mentees and mentors can expand their individual creative space.
