Faculty of Law starts 9th edition of Mentoring Programme

On December 12, the Lisbon School of the Faculty of Law of Universidade Católica Portuguesa hosted the Opening Session of the 9th edition of the Mentoring Programme.

Mentors and mentees attended this meeting of generations, which this year has more than 60 participants.

The session was opened by Patrícia Fragoso Martins, the School's vice-director. It featured testimonies from Carlos Castelo Branco, a mentor and UCP alumnus, and Mariana Cabral, a 2nd year Law student.

"An opportunity not to be missed!"

"An experience that opens doors to the future!"

"The perception of a previously unknown reality of the legal world."

"The human formation that is built and that lasts." 

These are some of the many ideas that emerged from this session, which was also a time to share experiences and expectations.

The Mentoring Programme is aimed at 1st-year law students who wish to make a difference in their academic career by accompanying an alumnus for 12 months.
