Mentoring is an aspect of collaborative work: mutual support, interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge and experience, getting to know and developing different perspectives. From the reverse mentoring I promise new impulses for my professional commitment and the work of my team. And I am happy when young women are interested in my experiences and perspectives. Mentoring among women is also exciting, as it contributes to the development of female networks and creates new impulses for a gender-friendly working culture. I would like to hear from a mentee on reverse mentoring what the most important aspects of today's digital communication are and how the media behavior and interest of the young generation is. With her wealth of experience, she can inspire me to new approaches. I can teach a mentee, how the press work for a cultural big event like the Berlinale is organized, with which organizational, communicative, substantive, ethical and political issues one grapples, such as intercultural dialogue takes place and how we want to live diversity in the workplace.
