SESSION SUMMARY

The host will start the session in the live room with the participants and mentors coming together.

1. MAIN GROUP SESSION 1 - WELCOME (Duration: 10-15 mins)

To open the session the host will…

• Welcome the participants as they come into the Zoom room
• Announce formation of breakout groups.

2. BREAKOUT SESSION 1 (Duration: 30-45 mins)

FOCUS – GET TO KNOW YOU

In this session the majority of the time will be spent in breakout rooms where mentors and participants spend time getting
to know each other. Some options conversation/sentence starters are provided on Page 39.

LOOKING FOR GOLD MOMENTS

Mentors should aim to find out about the interests and passions of participants. The gold moments occur when
participants are freely talking about these aspects of their lives without much prompting from mentors.

Using this information in future sessions will help mentors build trust and rapport with participants.
