🎧 New Podcast Episode: Impact – Good Mentors Grow People

💪 Good mentors don't fix problems. They build people.

That’s the philosophy of Vera Niste, Coach and Mentor, and guest in this episode of the Mentoring Under Construction Podcast. Vera shares her approach to mentoring: instead of stepping in with solutions, she explores with volunteers which skills are missing and supports them in building those competences together. The result? Growth that lasts long after the project ends.

How can we better recognise the value of youth volunteering across Europe?

🙌 Join the Symposium “Recognising Youth Volunteering: From Experience to Impact”!

📍 Dublin, Ireland
📅 3-5 November 2026

After 30 years of EU-funded youth volunteering, the positive impact is undeniable: but there is still untapped potential in how volunteering experiences and skills are recognised and valued.

This international Symposium brings together experts from practice, research, policy, and lived experience to explore:
✨ Recognition of volunteering in society, education, and employment
✨ Validation of skills and competences gained through volunteering
✨ Inclusion, quality, and pathways into working life

💬 Through discussions, exchanges, and collaborative workshops, participants will help shape new approaches to recognising the learning and impact of volunteering.
