Programa Mentoring 2018 | Formación para mujeres líderes en el ámbito universitario
This publication in Spanish is the result of the Mentoring Program 2018 – Training for women leaders in the university environment organized by the Space of Women Leaders from Higher Education Institutions in the Americas (EMULIES) of the Inter-American Organization for Higher Education (IOHE), in coordination with the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP) and the UNESCO Regional Chair for Women, Science and Technology in Latin America Flacso (Argentina).
The 2018 Mentoring Program arose in response to demands made at various EMULIES events and, based on a consultation with female leaders of HEIs who expressed interest in having the appropriate tools to transmit their experiences in decision-making positions to other women.
Its objectives were to recover the experiences of some women leaders of the HEIs and strengthen capacities to transfer their learning to other women through mentoring processes.
The monitoring and evaluation of these processes provided inputs and conclusions that made it possible to carry out this tool in the field of academic institutions to contribute to the improvement of the situation of women in positions of power and decision-making.
