Become a Mentor
The International Mentoring is a personalised hosting programme for international students in individual mobility or exchange program arriving in Montpellier, Nîmes, Perpignan, Béziers, Mende or Narbonne.
During the first two months after their arrivals these new international students, mentorees, are welcomed, accompanied and guided by their mentors, allowing them a successfully settle into their campus and host city.
You are a student (French or foreign) and have been in Montpellier, Nîmes, Perpignan, Béziers, Mende or Narbonne for at least 1 year.
You are fluent in French and have a good knowledge of English and/or Spanish.
You have some free time (about 20 hours between September/October or January/February depending on the session).
And most importantly... You want to help an international student, discover other cultures, and make new friends...
Your tasks:
- Exchange emails with your mentoree before their arrival
- Welcome them to Montpellier, Nîmes, or Perpignan (train station, airport...)
- Accompany them to their accommodation (university residence, youth hostel, hotel...)
- Help them with certain procedures if they wish (opening a phone line, a bank account...)
For a successful integration on their campus and in their host city.
