SPEAKER MENTORSHIP PROGRAMME

As a diverse and inclusive community EuroPython offers support for potential speakers who want help preparing for their contribution.

One-to-One Mentorship

A mentor serves as the guide, supporter and source of help to the mentee; they are not expected to tell the mentee what their contribution should be.

For Mentors

For mentors who take on a mentee, we expect you to provide 4 one-hour sessions with your mentee to:

  • Prepare their CfP submission
  • Review their CfP before submission
  • If your mentee is selected, help them prepare the talk. Otherwise, help them submit their talk to another meetup/conference should they wish to.
  • Help them rehearse for their talk

Mentors are also invited to participate in webinar workshops.

For Mentees

If you require help contributing to EuroPython, especially if you are from an underrepresented or a marginalised group in the tech industry, you are welcome to submit your application.

Ask Me Anything About CfP
