About: 

In a tandem system students spend their free time together with a mentee in a meaningful way. Possible activities are cooking together, playing games, doing handcraft, visiting museums or different cultural events, just going for a walk, getting to know interesting people, and many more things. In this way students of the University of Education work as pedagogues following the idea of the implicit pedagogics by Pierre Bourdieu. Children (mostly immigrants) are shown new ways to go, ways they probably wouldn’t go without  support from their mentors. Thus mentees get more self confident and open minded.

Mentors win organisational, social and intercultural competences. The project Nightingale offers mutual benefit to both mentors and mentees.
