| description | Mentorship is an important academic formative activity with origins in medieval universities. It represents a form of collaborative self-learning that connects a professor with a student in the pursuit of knowledge. In the mentoring process, university life is replicated.

Although they need each other, their interest is selfless because their goal is knowledge, which transcends both of them. |
