In August 2023, we began to collaborate with Unfold - a London-based mentoring organisation keen to better appreciate how mentoring, mentees and mentors are embedded within both the injustices of social structures and the possibilities of social movements. As a first step, we designed and facilitated a workshop that used decolonizing pedagogy to introduce staff to a ‘community psychology’ approach. We then adapted this to run a session that also included mentees and Board members. During both, we took guidance from the infamous words of Lilla Watson - a Gungalu and Birri Gubba (Wiri) artist, activist and academic speaking on behalf of a female Indigenous collective during a 1985 UN conference: “If you have come to help me you are wasting your time. But if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together”. In August 2024, we began a participatory evaluation of Unfold, led by the young people and women migrants and refugees that it serves.
