1. Two ways to follow the course

The course is flexible. Choose the learning path that fits your time, role and experience.

1️⃣ Option 1: Follow the full learning journey

Start from the course home page and work through the modules in order. This gives you the complete picture of the MOTM approach:

• 🧩 the principles of inclusive mentoring through sport
• 📋 designing and running a mentoring programme
• 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 supporting mentors and participants
• 🛡️ ensuring safety, inclusion and positive impact

This route is especially useful for newcomers or when launching a new programme.

2️⃣ Option 2: Use the course as a toolbox

You can jump directly to the topics you need, for example:

• 🛡️ safeguarding and external communication
• 🤝 role of mentors, boundaries and wellbeing
• ⚽ sport for social change and inclusion
• 📊 monitoring and evaluation

Some ideas appear in more than one module. This repetition is intentional, so each module stands on its own.

2. What you will find in each module

• 📌 a short overview of the topic
• 🔍 optional expandable sections with more details
• 🧰 a small toolbox with questions, examples or templates
• 💡 practical tips for applying the ideas in your context

You can skim the main ideas or open the additional sections if you want to go deeper.

3. Learning alone or with others

You can complete this course individually or use it as a shared resource in teams.

• 👥 mentor or volunteer training sessions
• 🤝 team workshops or peer-learning groups
• 🌍 partnership meetings with clubs, NGOs or community organisations

You might choose to:

• read a module together and discuss one example from each person’s practice
• adapt toolbox items as a group to suit your local context
• use parts of the course to support supervision or reflection sessions

4. Time, pacing and wellbeing

The course is designed to be flexible and manageable:

• ⏱️ you can complete small sections in 10–20 minutes
• 🧩 you can spread the modules over days or weeks
• 🧠 taking breaks helps with absorbing more demanding topics

If you coordinate a team, you may choose one module per month or per meeting cycle.
