Six European organisations cooperate in the partnership project "Mentor Development Programmes: Transforming learners into educators supported by e-communication tools”.
All partner organisations use mentoring programmes as a tool to increase learner participation and sustain the impact of adult education. The partners took turns in hosting meetings and presented best practices of mentoring programmes they (or cooperation partners in the country) are experienced with. The partners exchanged national particularities of mentoring programmes as well as common all-European approaches. They identified successful core elements of the learner-educator transformation which could be transferred and implemented at home.
The partners also learned about e-tools to support mentor development and mentoring programmes and make them more accessible to learners with special needs. These e-tools included online learning platforms, web conferences, blogs, online survey tools etc.
The work progress was accompanied by the compilation of “mentor success stories” showcasing the learner-educator transformation in individual cases. The success stories were written by adult learners actively involved throughout the project lifetime. The success stories are published as a pdf-booklet and available online for download. They will hopefully inspire more learners to become mentors and more adult education organisations to explore the full potential of mentoring programmes.

Pictures and Results 5th Meeting (Berlin Feb. 11, 2011)
On February 11th nine "Learning Partners" met in Berlin. We studied tools for dissemination on a European level, discussed the structure and content of our final project publication “Transforming learners into educators:
Mentor development success stories”, and agreed on to-do´s until the end of our project in August 2011.
This was - sadly - the last face-to-face meeting during our partnership project :-(
Let´s keep in touch beyond the project lifetime through follow-up activities, future cooperation projects and couchsurfing!
