SCS Mentoring Program: Exciting Beginnings in Zurich!
đOur mentoring program is officially underway, and the kickoff in Zurich was nothing short of amazing!đWe had the privilege of bringing together 16 enthusiastic mentees and 8 mentors, all ready to embark on a transformative journey.đ€â
Here's a glimpse of our fantastic day:â
đźïž We started with some thrilling ice-breaking games that got everyone mingling and laughing.â
đ Then, we formed teams of 4-6 to create inspiring mood boards about mentoring. đŒïžIt was incredible to see the creative visions our teams came up with.â
đȘ A personality test followed, helping us discover our unique strengths and talents. Self-discovery is the first step towards growth!â
đïžThe highlight of the day was our group activity, where we delved deep into defining our "Ikigai" â our sense of purpose and passion in life.đ€đâ
đ„ And, of course, we wrapped up the day with a delightful Apero, sharing stories and forging connections that will last a lifetime.đčâ
Stay tuned for more updates on our mentoring journey in Switzerland!đđâ
Approach
Four regional clusters, each consisting of a managing team, mentors and mentees, will be established. Each cluster will define the activities, one per semester, at its âkick off meetingâ. At the end of the year, the cluster will meet for a closing event.
