A reply on Conversation: How does the web effect the role model or mentor/student relationship? And can the internet be used to create more available options...
Great idea! Seing we are on the same side of the world, discussing the way forward can be done whilst we are both awake!! Are details about your initiative accessible via the web or are you still in the initial stages?

Our group carried out research on Role Models for Youth At-Risk. We surveyed a number of groups, collected foundational data about issues faced by at-risk youth and reviewed established oral storytelling methodologies to address these issues. We then collected stories from 26 young people about how they had overcome adversity; they are on: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLED83F19F027467F3&feature=plcp A 7 min trailer with excerpts from these stories was designed as a taster for teachers and students: http://youtu.be/Usr0uzjIINg. Project FaceBook page:
We are now working with youth organisations to embed these Virtual Role Model narratives in their activities and teach their staff how to use the storytelling methodology so that they can use it in real time as they work with the young people who do not have access to a mentor face to face.

Our YouTube channel is: www.youtube.com/ecosynergygroup It includes interviews from different storytelling projects ranging from education to innovation. We recently passed 10,000 views;)
Really interested in getting feedback and comments from people in this forum about the idea of spreading Role Modeling stories contributed by a large group of people - so that young people in need of a story can choose from a pool of ideas and people - and in turn contribute their own!
