RISING

The RISING project aims to integrate the motivational benefits of mentoring into the training and educational curriculum offered to migrants. Specifically, RISING will seek to provide a set of tools, in order to help mentors fulfilling their roles and to provide additional support for mentoring providers.

The overall objective of RISING is to address the lack of motivation of migrants in taking part in further education and training, through an innovative mentoring model that seeks ways of increasing learners’ motivation and thus complement on the development of successful integration processes. The Rising mentoring method will work as a problem solver, focusing on one main outcome: attitudinal, cognitive or motivational change, including positive changes in coping and other psychological skills and improvements in attitudes and thinking patterns. This change of mindset will be the turning point in properly impacting their knowledge, their civic engagement and ultimately their social inclusion.

Evaluation results/ monitoring plan	A group of mentees and mentors will be enrolled in piloting in each country. They will be involved depending on topic, work package or output. This way we will assure that the perspective of the audience groups will be taken into account since the beginning of each work package. The Quality Manager of the project ensures the quality and evaluation of the project, its activities and objectives and the overall collaboration of the consortium but also monitors project’s activities and project progression in terms of respect of deadlines and compliance in close coordination with the project coordinator. The project intends to provide an evaluation of the mentoring sustainability. We intend to make the evaluation and validation of acquired skills a common practice in these types of mentoring programs. Therefore it will be monitored (accompaniment of mentors and mentees, continuum training, etc) and measured (check indicators assessment of skills, evaluation etc.) all the mentoring process. This will enable a continuum intervention of the migrants learning path, adjusting it to their always evolving goals and needs.
