Peer-to-peer support

Malmö University Exchange Mentor Program, focuses on peer-to-peer support. In the program, there are four student mentors who connect students who have been on internationl exchanges with those who are about to go abroad, as well as with incoming students.

The aim is to create a safe and inclusive meeting place where students can support each other both practically and socially – as a complement to the more formal guidance conversations, provided by the university.

The peer-to-peer model has proven to be highly valuable: it creates a greater sense of security and promotes independence among students. Students also tend to have strong trust in the experiences of other students. It is also a concrete way to strengthen the outreach of guidance – by enabling students to grow together, build a community, and support one another.
