The Iscte Peer Mentoring Program is back for a new edition, reinforcing support for the reception and integration of students who arrive at the institution.
Integrated in the Project IN-Iscte, the initiative assigns each 1st year Bachelor's, Master's or Doctorate student a mentor who is attending an intermediate or final year of the respective study cycle. It is up to the mentor to facilitate the academic affiliation of the younger colleague: help them understand the functioning and codes of the institution, consolidate the feeling of belonging and promote their social inclusion.
The program responds to the challenges posed by an increasingly diverse student body, fostering a culture of empathy and cooperation between peers.
Mentee registrations open on August 24th
Any Students who feel they need support can apply for the program. Registration for mentees opens on August 24th and can be done through this form.
Mentors undergo preparatory training from September 7th
Before being assigned a mentee, future mentors attend preparatory training, starting on September 7, 2026, focused on the development of technical, relational and emotional skills for welcoming and including peers. The training also seeks to cultivate values and attitudes that benefit the mentors themselves, through the exchange of experiences, recognition and a sense of social responsibility.
The course is part of the Transversal Skills Laboratory (LCT) from Iscte, grants 2 ECTS and combines practical dynamics, group discussions and debates aimed at solving problems. The Curricular Unit Form is available aqui.
The initiative is the result of joint work between IN-Iscte, LCT-Iscte, the Service of Social Action (SAS), the project BeWell-Iscte and other Iscte structures, with the collaboration of former mentors from the program.
Registration for mentors is now open and can be made through this form. Questions can be sent to in_iscte@iscte-iul.pt.
Project included in the Promotion of Success and Reduction of Dropout in Higher Education program, and financed by the Recovery and Resilience(PRR).
