We believe in Peer mentorship i.e. we do not distinguish interested parties in a "mentor" and a "mentee" pool, since we believe that everyone has valuable knowledge and experience to share, and we gain from learning *from each other*. #Masakhane #WeBuildTogether
This form aims to create mentoring connections around the virtual AfricaNLP 2022 workshop (
