The Symbiosis: A Co-Mentoring Programme With A Difference is running for its second year!

It is a fully funded programme - so free to everyone to get involved. 

We are looking for anyone 18 + who wants to be matched with someone from another generation based on your interests and needs.

Our programme is about building intergenerational connections with nature as a guide, brought to you by Wild Purpose and Youth the Gap.

Is this for you? Are you at a crossroads or wanting to explore a new direction in your life or work?

Are you in need of space to reflect, time in nature and human connection?

Wisdom doesn’t necessarily come with age and fresh ideas aren’t just exclusive to youth!

Let nature and an intergenerational connection guide you to new understanding and perspectives.

Skills

Our programme is all about intergenerational connections and we believe everyone has skills and experience to share.  
It is particularly important to those who love nature and want to get out into nature.  
It is for anyone who wants to be curious and have human connection, particularly across generations. 

Benefits

1) To bridge the gap across generations and using Nature as the classroom.  It is a time to listen and learn from both generations with a reciprocal approach to mentoring 

2) Nature connection is key component to this programme because it is an equitable and inspiring learning space, stepping away from the hierarchal education space 

3) Its fully funded so free to take part and its a chance to grow your community networks and join in other community events 

Practical Considerations

We have two online sessions to complete before being matched with a mentor.  They go through how the mentoring works and gives guidance and advice on how to make a successful mentoring relationship. 

We have a Symbiosis six session guide that you can use for your mentoring relationship, giving a framework and structure to develop your co-mentoring relationship.
