Because it is a collective awareness platform (CAP). Unlike a classic website, the media-wiki platform can be co-authored by everyone who has any relation to project. CAPs use networks to connect youth and ideas for social innovation, leveraging on collective intelligence and action to address intercultural, political, democratic governance and other sustainability challenges. | |||

These are other young people from across the world who have already demonstrated a unique ability and braveness to pursue their personal aspiration in some aspect of life. They will serve both as inspiration and as resource for ideas. Their role is to engage in brainstorming together with their mentee about options for taking action and also empower them in taking the steps needed to convert their visions and ideas into action.Their specific tasks are summarized [[Mentors_in_the_Science_of_Dialogic_Design#Specific_Tasks|here]]. | |||
<br><br> | |||
<li>[[Mentors in Digital Communication Strategy and Policy|Media Mentors]]: <br> | |||
These are international experts and/or scientists in the fields of communication strategy, communication policy, promotion and dissemination of results.

<li>[[Mentors in the Science of Dialogic Design|SDD Mentors]]: <br> | |||
These are scientists and practitioners experts in the [[Science of Dialogic Design]]. Their role is to support and help the Mentee to learn more and master the theory and practice of the Science of Dialogic Design. They will also support the mentees learn the different roles in organizing an SDDP and help them launch their own regional dialogues. Their specific tasks are summarized [[Peer Empowerment and Support Mentors|here]]. | |||

<li>'''Are there any templates/protocols that Mentors will use in their role?</li>''' | |||
In prepartion | |||
<br><br> | |||
<li>'''What mechanisms should Mentors use to communicate with their Mentees, project staff or other Mentors?'''</li> | |||
Any means is acceptable. Skype is probably the easiest because it allows also the inclusion in chats of some of the project staff if that becomes necessary for advice or support. | |||
<br><br> | |||
<li>'''What amount of time is required by a Mentor? '''</li> | |||
It is not about time, but more importantly about (a) consistency in communication and (b) quality of advice and support. | |||
<br><br> | |||
<li>'''Are Mentors expected to collaborate with other Mentors on production of materials that support Mentees or other Participants?'''</li> | |||
Not necessarily, but they are encouraged to do so and build up larger networks and maybe come up with larger project ideas. | |||
<br><br> | <br><br> | ||
<li>'''What type of guidance are different types of Mentors expected to provide? '''</li> | |||
Produce guidelines of what to expect when participating in a CoLab | |||
Produce summary of SDD. | |||
Before: provide guidelines and summary | |||
<br><br> | |||
<li>'''What tasks do Mentors do before, during and after each CoLab?'''</li> | |||
Their role is to alert Mentees to be ready, conscious and consistent in contributing the ideas they wish, making the networks they will need, absorb and benefit the knowledge that will and collect materials that they will need for the next steps. | |||
<br><br> | |||
<li>'''Is there an expectation that Mentors are present in Co-Labs and/or provide training or coaching during those activities?'''</li> | |||
No, Mentors are not required to be present to any of the physical meetings. This is also not possible with the current budget. However, the campaign is on-going and new funding might provide new opportunities. Mentors may come up with their suggestions regarding replication, extension, globalization etc of activities as well as suggestions as to where we can apply for more funding. | |||
<br><br> | |||
<li>'''How much do Mentors interact with the ‘Shadow Participants?'''</li> | |||
Shadow Participants have neither formal nor direct access to Mentors. A Shadow Participant may access a Mentor through the corresponding Core Participant. | |||
It is anticipated that some Mentors will have interest to pursue their own agenda in the context of the project, which might involve engaging a number of participants in some social intervention, research, or other activity. A Mentor has access to a global community of 55 individuals who are highly committed and engaged in this unique experiment to reinvent democracy. The only limit is their own imagination and ability to inspire and engage this community to do extraordinary things. | |||
<br><br> | |||
<li>'''How involved are Mentors with Outputs (i.e, the Manifesto, eBooks, videos)'''?</li> | |||
Mentors are not expected to engage directly with the drafting or design of any of the outputs. However, it is within their TOR to mentor their Mentees when the latter make their contributions to the development of the outputs. They can offer their edits or make suggestions. Furthermore, Mentors are expected to support their Mentees with the dissemination of the outputs. They can do this by offering ideas on how to identify the best possible recipients, provide names and contacts, as well as offer their professional help on how to approach each recipient.<br> | |||
Mentors are not expected to disseminate outputs themselves, but they would be strongly encouraged to forward outputs at least to their own circles. It is also anticipated that some Mentors will have their own interest in the promotion of certain outputs. | |||
<br><br> | <br><br> | ||
<li>'''Do Mentors attend/participate in the Webinars?'''</li> | |||
Mentors | Yes. Mentors will be expected to support the production of Webinars. Their role in producing video materials for the project begins very early. For example, every Mentor is expected to provide a short video clip on which s/he present herself/himself and what s/he can offer to potential Mentees Later in the project, Mentor may provide additional video clips to offer their advice and suggestions on issues that will come up. | ||
<br><br> | |||
<li>'''How knowledgable about and experienced with Media, SDD or project planning and implementation are Mentees expected to be when they are done?'''</li> | |||
