REFLECT Co-Mentoring

What: REFLECT is a model of cross-sector co-mentoring devised and led by The Sage Gateshead for Creative Partnerships in 2007/8. It is a dynamic, collaborative learning process for people across sectors. People taking part in REFLECT pause, reflect, reconnect, and reappraise their professional practice from a new perspective. The co-mentoring relationship is time limited with a clear, shared focus supported by a learning agreement.

Who: REFLECT co-mentoring enriches practice and offers valuable time and space for creative thinking. Co-mentors taking part in the pilot programme shared values, explored different points of view, and re-focused their work with children and young people as a direct consequence of exploring their own creative practice. Co-mentors have taken their learning back into their organisations and businesses creating new partnerships, strengthening creative learning, developing new approaches to leadership and establishing their own co-mentoring programmes.
