This poster presentation aims to provide an overview of the "Enhancement Mentoring Initiative, which is designed to advance digital transformation in language education through strategic collaboration (Erasmus KA 171+) between Çağ University (Turkey) and Buenos Aires University (Argentina). The project, which commenced in September 2023 and concluded in June 2025, aimed to enhance academic and research capacities while promoting cultural exchange. It incorporated specific mobility actions for PhD students and staff, aligning with both institutions' internationalization strategies focused on educational innovation and collaboration.

Ruben and Seden held a Zoom meeting with their participants, Ecem, Tuğçe, and Zekeriya (from the Turkish context) and Paul, Silvia, and Laura (from the Argentinian context). In the first part of the initiative, Ruben and Seden, following the kick-off meeting, had three additional Zoom meetings to finalize the Enhancement Mentoring Approach protocols and have their three pairs reflect on their Enhancement Mentoring processes, guided by the session templates. The three pairs completed their Enhancement Mentoring training, planned for their roadmaps, and were ready to be mentored separately for the part of their projects in the Argentine and Turkish contexts.

Ecem says: "Me, Seden and Paul, we understand each other and our plans, ideas. We use the same language, we are on the same boat. The perspective that we have is very similar so we can meet in a common point easily, without rough discussions. The time is limited, and we have many fruitful steps to take. I just wonder to make it in and on time."

Paul says: "I think things went well because of the good rapport existing between the three of us. Also, our common interests and desire for things to work out fine. I don’t think anything went badly."
