About Creative Mentorship
Creative mentorship was developed in Serbia 8 years ago as a bottom-up initiative, from the need which was recognized by initiators. Since then, through every new cycle and new generation of mentees and mentors, the program has been further developed and improved. Creative Mentorship promotes mentorship as a way of lifelong learning and exchange of knowledge and experience between established professionals, mentors and emerging professionals, mentees. So far, 5 cycles of the program were realized with more than 250 participants..Our network represents 250 ambassadors of the idea of mentorship, knowledge and experience sharing, and mutual support.
In addition to running the mentorship program in Serbia, the mission of Creative Mentorship is to spread the information about mentorship globally, about its value and impact, both on individuals and the society as a whole. As this organization started from the need, as a bottom up initiative, we know all the do’s and don’t of running a mentoring program, and are happy to share this knowledge to support organizations of creatives around Europe and wider to start their own mentoring programs in their countries.
