This three-hour workshop will explore the dynamic of the mentor/mentee relationship. The afternoon will be active and fun as attendees participate through a variety of activities designed to highlight their own experiences, strengths, skills and gifts, as well as some of the challenges in establishing a mutual vision. Topics discussed will include: defining structure, boundaries and expectations; avoiding pitfalls and negotiating conflict; and creating closure. The workshop will also explore learning models, and will offer a variety of approaches and practical advice. This workshop is an excellent how-to for anyone considering setting up a mentorship program, anyone who will be mentoring, or anyone who works in peer-based arts education. It is based on MAWA’s experience, as a pioneer in the field of arts mentorship for the past 29 years.
Please register by Thursday, September 12 at 4 pm to reserve your spot. Places are limited.
