German term or phrase: inhaltlich begleiten
Hi,

I was wondering whether this means "as a mentor", and if not, whether it doesn't because that would be corrupting and falsifying the source text in terms of the precise meaning or whether the reason why it doesn't is that "as a mentor" just doesn't -- sound -- quite right here, whether stylistically or otherwise. I really don't know. However, I would appreciate, if possible, community takes that outperform the current version rather than provide alternatives falling slightly short of it.

This is from German website copy (not yet published) aimed at providing a general feel-good vibe for social work and giving plus activity reports on behalf of a foundation engaged in social funding in regard to specially gifted "kids" (children) that think in images.

DE.
Michael Harslem hat 2006 bis 2012 das Lernforschungsprojekt „Freie Hofschule Gaisberg“ ***inhaltlich begleitet***, bei dem bilddenkende Kinder auf einem Demeter-Bauernhof nahe Salzburg unterrichtet wurden (mehr dazu – auch zur Auswertung des Pilotprojekts durch die Alanus Hochschule – hier).

EN.
Michael Harslem assisted with the “Freie Hofschule Gaisberg” educational research project as a mentor, a project involving children who think in images being taught on a Demeter farm near Salzburg, Austria, from 2006 to 2012 (more on that – also on the evaluation of the pilot project by the Alanus Hochschule, a private Art College – is available at this link).

Some general textual improvements also welcome, where applicable, even though this marks already our near-final version.

AmEng, please.

Best regards,

  -> Thanks. Other solutions seem to gloss over the issue of 'inhaltlich'. My idea of guidance is good, but neither 'facilitate' nor 'progress and development' hit the right nuance here.
