This online event will present selected mentees and their projects developed, advanced and critiqued within their mentorship in 2020. For the short presentations we'll be meeting on Zoom and for socialising on Wonder. Here you'll also have the opportunity to chat with the mentees and mentors.

Additionally the mentorship team will announce the 2021 opening dates and welcome feedback and new ideas for the program.

About the program

Alphabettes is a global network of women type professionals that came together with the aim to support and promote the work of other women in the field of type, typography, and the lettering arts. The mentorship program was created in spring 2016. It started as an effort to reach out and help entry-level professionals of all genders to immerse themselves in the type community.

More than four years since its first launch, the mentorship program has more than 200 participants from all over the world. It is operating two seasons a year and coordinated by a small team of volunteer-matchmakers who review and discuss applications individually, make the connection between each Mentor and Mentee, follow their progress, and find ways to implement feedback in order to keep this program running smoothly and relevant.

The mentorship program is open to everyone, but we particularly welcome women and members of underrepresented groups.

We look forward to welcome you on the 21 February,

Eleni, Katy, Liron, Shani and Veronika
