"Time is never wasted if it is given to others."

Al-Moutanabbi, Iraki poet (915-965)

Time, listening and an outstretched hand is sometimes all a person needs to resolve their difficulties. The Louvainplus project wishes to help Faculties and their students. The Listen project is an aid offered by emeritus and intended for master's students. It is above all a listening time that will be given to young people who cannot graduate because of the delay in their dissertation. It is also aimed at foreign students who are unfamiliar with the Louvain-la-Neuve campus. The Welcome project will establish a list of people who agree to sponsor a new or visiting academic when no academic of the Faculty is available. This means, for example, anticipating a first individual welcome with the Faculty administration, providing information on the organization of courses, exams and the supervision of dissertations, being available for an exchange on pedagogy, evaluation methods, etc. The Welcome project is not yet active on the Louvain-la-Neuve site.

The role of the mentor

In order to allow students in difficulty to receive the help they need, each of them is assigned a mentor. This mentor, either one or more emeritus of UCLouvain, will accompany the young person by granting him time to listen, comfort and, if possible, guidance. Louvainplus is a personalized solution where the mentor allows the student to take the necessary step back to resolve difficulties. In order to carry out his or her mission, the mentor will benefit from the support and environment of Louvainplus.

As a mentor, I really appreciate this friendly accompaniment, positive interaction without constraint and "listening", which settles with the student. We are no longer teacher and student, but partners. Because our role is to help him or her find his or her way towards the accomplishment of his or her academic career.

Sur le plan de l'organisation de mon travail de mémoire, les lumières du Professeur Bouillon m'ont été d'un grand apport. Pour moi, nos échanges ont été rassurants et édifiants sur des aspects du mémoire qui ne sont pas pris en compte dans l'encadrement du promoteur. De ce fait, le soutien apporté par Louvainplus a complété mon accompagnement, qui été déjà bien pris en charge par mon promoteur qui a guidé mes réflexions sur le sujet de mon mémoire.

First of all, I would like to thank Professor Marc Fourny, who, through the Louvainplus coaching, has pulled me out of my academic torpor and put me back on the path of the thesis. The passing years have made the thesis taboo and his arrival at a critical moment of despair has changed my state of mind. He took into account my constraints and his help is undeniable in the development of this work.

Most of the students I followed belonged to the School of from the School of Economics and were having difficulties with their Master's program, Some of them had made choices that turned out to be more difficult than expected. In all cases, my role was to first listen and then try to the nature of the difficulties encountered, and finally to give the most appropriate appropriate advice.
