21/12/2017 – Toronto – Young Professionals and Skilled Workers Association (YPSWA) has completed “3D Mentorship Project,” a mentorship project whose aim was to mentor seniors, adults, youth and/or youth mentoring seniors.

The project was based on a premise, “art by seniors for seniors”. It was open to all interested individuals, who wanted to improve their art skills and techniques.

No prerequisite skills were necessary in order to participate in the 3D Mentorship Project.

Through this project, YPSWA also attempted to combat in the community isolationism among seniors, narrow down the intergeneration gap between seniors and other groups of society as well as provide meaningful opportunities for young artists to collaborate with seniors and with older and more professional artists.

YPSWA successfully recruited participants, who directly benefited from 3D Mentorship Project. It took place in West Toronto, where many seniors live.

At the end of the 3D Mentorship Project, participants completed three artistic works and each painted a few wooden statues and decorations.

YPSWA is a not-for-profit and federally registered and community-based organization, which offers a great way for young professionals, skilled workers and apprentices to network, socialize and expand their professional horizons.
