WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

What happens at the E-tanoda?

At the E-tanoda, high school and university mentors assist disadvantaged students with various subjects through Teams. They develop digital teaching materials, enhance their own pedagogical skills, all through a series of personal meetings and virtual lessons.

Who is the E-tanoda for?

The E-tanoda is for students interested in social issues, who are keen to meet children in difficult situations, actively help, and gain teaching experience. It is especially interesting for those who are interested in digital education and its potential.

What is the schedule for the semester?

The semester starts with a one-day camp, after which the Teams mentoring begins. Throughout the semester, mentors gather for regular supervision sessions, and the semester concludes in January, aligned with the school grading period.

How are mentors paired with their mentees?

In our kickoff camp, we play a lot of games and get to know each other, and by the end of the second day, we form the learning groups in which the collaborative learning will take place.

How does Teams mentoring work?

During the camp, we prepare everyone for this, demonstrating the use of the – very simple – software used for teaching, and we provide methodological training for the mentors. Those interested can also learn to develop digital teaching materials, complementing their Teams lessons.

How do we acknowledge the mentors' work?

Students participating in the program can complete their community service with us, for which we issue a certificate.

Can I meet the others during the semester?

During the semester, we gather with the mentors several times to exchange experiences, share our successes, and discuss any issues that arise during mentoring. Additionally, at the Burattino school program site, there are opportunities for in-person meetings with mentees during the online teaching period.
