| 8 | +# Speaker Mentorship Programme |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +As a diverse and inclusive community EuroPython offers support for potential |
| 11 | +speakers who want help preparing for their contribution. To achieve this, we |
| 12 | +are running the Speaker Mentorship Programme again. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +At the moment we are looking for interested mentors who would like to help our |
| 15 | +mentees to create their proposals, and if accepted deliver their talk. If you |
| 16 | +are interested in helping mentees as their mentor please **stay tuned |
| 17 | +for the registration form**. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +--- |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +## 1. One-to-One Mentorship Programme |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +A mentee needing help with their proposal will be matched with an experienced |
| 24 | +mentor. The mentor's job is to facilitate and support the mentee so they are |
| 25 | +able to contribute to EuroPython with confidence. A mentor serves as the guide, |
| 26 | +supporter and source of help to the mentee; they are not expected to tell the |
| 27 | +mentee what their contribution should be (that's for the mentee to decide). |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +## Mentors |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +We expect mentors to have past speaking experience at conferences similar to |
| 32 | +EuroPython. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +For mentors who take on a mentee, we expect you to provide 4 one-hour sessions |
| 35 | +with your mentee to: |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +- Prepare their CFP submission. |
| 38 | +- Review their CFP before submission. |
| 39 | +- If your mentee is selected, help them prepare the talk. Otherwise, help them |
| 40 | + submit their talk to another meetup/conference should they wish to. |
| 41 | +- Help your mentee rehearse for their talk. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +You will also be invited to join the panel of the Webinar Workshops. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +## Mentee |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +If you require help contributing to EuroPython, especially if you are from an |
| 48 | +underrepresented or a marginalised group in the tech industry, you are welcome |
| 49 | +to submit your application once the form is opened and become a mentee. |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +## 2. Workshops |

| 53 | +More information coming soon. |
