About the track

DWARS Radical Talent is the new name of the well-known talent programme DWARS On the Way. Participants receive four programme days of training in the areas of cooperation, organisation, planning & goal setting and achievement. The aim is to use this to train young talents for political and administrative positions. Such as the National Board of DWARS, a popular representative position, or a board position within or outside the party.

About the mentoring programme

Our participants are ambitious and driven. We therefore want to give them the best possible guidance. We have a strong network of trainers, but we also like to offer our participants a perspective from someone with more experience. Just think back: how much could you yourself have learned from someone in your position, as a young twenty-something?

What we expect from a mentor:

  • Concrete time investment: 1 hour per week, + one day(part) for a follow-up day
  • Available for two months (period June - early July) for the trainee to spar about ideals, certain issues from the track, career or other relevant questions.
  • Willingness to let the trainee spend a day or part of a day in your work.
  • A positive and coaching attitude.
  • A healthy dose of humour and cheerfulness to build a good relationship with the trainee!

What do you get in return as a mentor:

  • Connecting with the talents of the new generation,
  • An enthusiastic mentee who brings new insights,
  • A thank-you note at the end.
