The SportyMentor project aims to use mentoring and sport as tools to stimulate cognitive, behavioural and emotional changes in young people aged 13 to 19 in difficulty, in order to strengthen their motivation to pursue a healthy and sustainable lifestyle.

New year, new slogan

The project partners at this meeting also officially chose the slogan that will from now on be used in all communications surrounding the project : SportyMentor, Together We Go Further ! This slogan embodies the spirit of mentoring and sport, as a means of uniting mentors and mentees in a constructive and stimulating relationship. The phrase inspires collaboration, mutual growth and shared success, underlining the importance of mentoring in achieving and exceeding one's goals !
