The M4PRIS project was presented on Friday 26^th April 2024 at The European Mentoring Summit, in Paris (France). The workshop titled “Peer Mentoring Programme to tackle mental health issues, job burnout and job-related stress in prison staff” was co-organised by Aproximar, Cooperativa de Solidariedade Social and HIVA.

European Mentoring Summit er en begivenhed, der afholdes hvert andet år, og som har til formål at forbinde mennesker og projekter i mentorsektoren for at dele forskning, bedste praksis og erfaringer med mentorprogrammer i hele Europa. Hver begivenhed har et mentorrelateret tema og fremhæver særlige hovedtalere og aktiviteter.

Temaet for dette års topmøde, »Expanding reach, deepening impact: mentoring for facing challenges and empowering futures«, havde til formål at forene den øgede brug af mentorinitiativer med kvalitetssikring, idet det understreges, at øget omfang ikke må gå på kompromis med kvaliteten.

M4Pris workshop was focused on teaching attendees how to use mentoring to promote wellbeing at the workplace, focusing on prisons as a unique workplace. During the workshop, participants learnt about M4Pris project and how it is being implemented across different countries in Europe. It was an opportunity to expand knowledge about the challenges of working in a unique environment as a prison and how mentoring can be a tool to enhance job satisfaction and job retention.
