Call for Contributions: Join the First European Conference on Social Mentoring November 2026

We are excited to share an important milestone for the mentoring field: the International Conference “Social Mentoring in Europe: Prospects for Social Inclusion and Engagement” will take place November 13–14, 2026, at Bertha von Suttner Private University in St. Pölten, Austria. Supported by the Mentoring Europe network and co-organized by the Ment4EU Cooperation Partnership, this is the first European conference dedicated specifically to research and innovation in social mentoring.

Over the past 15 years, social mentoring has emerged as a powerful, person-centered approach to advancing social inclusion across Europe. Now, researchers and practitioners are invited to help shape the future of the field.

Submit your proposal by March 31, 2026, and contribute to dialogue on research, program innovation, cross-sector collaboration, and advocacy.
