Mentoring for Integration of third country national children affected by migration (MINT) is a program of the Ocalenie Foundation implemented jointly with partners from Hungary, Slovenia, the Czech Republic and Romania. The program offers help in learning and education, workshops, visits in cultural institutions and outdoor activities. The organizers will also be in constant contact with the parents of the children participating in the program, offering them the necessary support.
Each of the children will meet with their mentor once a week to get to know each other and receive some assistance with learning. Once a month, she or he will participate in a group meeting, during which, together with other participants of the program, will be able to take part in cultural, artistic or sports activities. In addition, every two months excursions will be organized for children to go to various cultural or scientific institutions.
