Our start-up ENCOUNTER offers educational and training modules in youth social and health interventions, such as youth-adult mentoring interventions. It stems as a result of a successful Horizon Europe Marie Sklodowska Curie postdoctoral fellowship funding no. 101027291 ENCOUNTER: Experiences of Youth in Natural Mentoring Relationships (2021-23, Charles University). We focus on design, implementation, training in newest intervention approaches including digital mentoring relationships and interventions, and youth-initiated mentoring practices besides other participatory interventions training.
