Group Mentoring During Eureka Certificate Courses
 
Description
During the course, you’ll take part in two small-group mentoring sessions designed to help you reflect on and navigate professional dilemmas. These are not scientific discussions—they’re focused on your growth as a professional. You’ll join a group of 3–4 peers and two experienced Eureka faculty to explore real challenges from your work life in a supportive, confidential setting. The magic of these sessions is the shared experience—you’ll likely find that others have faced similar situations, and the insights from the group often lead to powerful new perspectives. We encourage you to come prepared with a professional dilemma you’d be willing to discuss.
 
Instructions
The goal of setting up group peer mentoring during the certificate Eureka courses is twofold: a) Assisting participants in learning new ways of approaching their career dilemmas b) Supporting them in developing adaptive expertise for critical problem solving. While doing so, they experience a format for peer mentoring that they can apply in their home institutions.
Before Starting:
  • Discuss how to create a safe environment (everything stays within the group)
  • Share the ground rules (focus on listening, do not come up too soon with practical solutions, ask the why questions, etc.)
  • Discuss what is needed for the group to work as a team (define the order of the case-providers, person who summarizes the dilemma, etc.) 
Eureka Group Mentoring – Suggested Method:
  • Step 1: Introduction. The case-provider explains their dilemma. The rest of the group is in active listening mode.
  • Step 2: Clarification. The group members ask specific questions to clarify the dilemma, and the case-provider answers directly.
  • Step 3: Problem Detection. Once the dilemma is clarified, the group members take 2 minutes to think of “deeper questions”. These can be related to facts, context, beliefs, feelings, standards, and values that play a role. Make sure that the questions are not solutions with a question mark. Each member asks one question on rotation till all the questions have been asked. The case-provider writes down all the questions.
  • Step 4: Answers. Monday July 6, 2026 16:30 - 18:00 CEST
