Project title
Description of initiative
The mentoring programme is based ont the model of Self Determination Theory (SDT), arguably the most well evidenced framework for impacting upon wellbeing and motivation. That mentoring is enhanced, captured and safely shared with stakeholders via a digital online platform. The mentoring, which happens face-to-face and/or online, often revolves around music and music technology (although it could also revolve around another art form or other activity as well). Music technology is a fantastic tool with which to make a young person feel good at something they value, quickly. The music, a sense of playfulness and the relationship with the musician/mentor are all incredibly important in this process
