The Cyprus Third Age Observatory, as part of the Mentoring Across Borders (MAB) project, organized a training seminar for mentors at its offices on June 6, 2024. This four-hour seminar, conducted in Greek, was attended by Observatory members and friends interested in becoming mentors. Kyriaki Sarri, a Psychologist and CTAO's First Officer led the training.
The seminar was conducted in two parts to accommodate new and returning participants. The first part adhered to the philosophy and training material from the April seminar, ensuring that new participants who had not attended the previous session received the foundational information.
The second part, a highlight of the seminar, featured a well-prepared video presented by Connor Audsley of CESES. The video, a comprehensive explanation of the project, was translated into Greek by the HUB staff, ensuring all participants could fully comprehend the content and raise insightful questions about the procedures and the platform, regardless of their previous seminar participation.
The new participants expressed a strong desire to become mentors, demonstrating their enthusiasm and commitment to the project. After the seminar, participants completed evaluation forms during face-to-face interviews with Mrs. Sarri.
