MentorCamp 2023 Autumn

MentorCamp was designed as a comprehensive experience, providing participants with a deep
dive into the structure, mission, vision, and causes of ESN. Through a series of workshops,
teambuilding activities, and insightful sessions, participants not only gained a thorough
understanding of ESN but also developed crucial skills for their roles within the organisation.
The 'Beyond being a mentor' session was a highlight, introducing participants to various
positions within ESN and inspiring them to take on more responsibilities. This strategic
approach to leadership development aimed to empower individuals to contribute actively to
the organisation's mission and vision.
As part of the Erasmus Generation in Action Mov'in Europe project, MentorCamp hosted
'Mobility Talks,' a panel discussion exploring the transformative experiences of speakers who
had taken part in mobility programmes abroad. The goal was to motivate participants to embark
on their own mobility journeys, fostering a sense of international awareness and cultural
exchange.
Throughout the weekend, teamwork was encouraged through organised team activities. The
thematic approach to the event, with this year's theme being Medieval, added an extra layer of
engagement. Participants were immersed in the experience with station games, themed
costumes, and venue decorations, creating a vibrant and memorable atmosphere.
MentorCamp addressed a broad spectrum of skills through diverse workshops such as Event
Planning, Elevator Pitch, How to CV, Stereotypes, Culture Shock, Team Cohesion, and How to

Prevent Burnout. The inclusion of a Climate Fresk workshop, led by a certified facilitator,
aligned with ESN's commitment to Environmental Sustainability.
To foster collaboration and strengthen connections within the ESN network, the National
Board of ESN Hungary and representatives from ESN BME and ESN Corvinus were invited.
This initiative aimed to bring the National and Local levels closer and encourage collaboration
between different sections.
The long-term impact of MentorCamp was evident in the enriched skills, strengthened
networks, and heightened motivation of the participants. By offering a holistic approach to
personal and professional development, MentorCamp 2023 not only empowered ESNers but
also laid the foundation for continued collaboration and growth within the ESN community.
