SCS Mentoring Program: Exciting Beginnings in Zurich!

🌟Our mentoring program is officially underway, and the kickoff in Zurich was nothing short of amazing!🚀We had the privilege of bringing together 16 enthusiastic mentees and 8 mentors, all ready to embark on a transformative journey.🤝⁠

Here's a glimpse of our fantastic day:⁠
🎮️ We started with some thrilling ice-breaking games that got everyone mingling and laughing.⁠
📌 Then, we formed teams of 4-6 to create inspiring mood boards about mentoring. 🖼️It was incredible to see the creative visions our teams came up with.⁠

💪 A personality test followed, helping us discover our unique strengths and talents. Self-discovery is the first step towards growth!⁠
🔍️The highlight of the day was our group activity, where we delved deep into defining our "Ikigai" – our sense of purpose and passion in life.🤔💖⁠

🥂 And, of course, we wrapped up the day with a delightful Apero, sharing stories and forging connections that will last a lifetime.🍹⁠
Stay tuned for more updates on our mentoring journey in Switzerland!🌐🌆⁠

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 “kick off meeting”. At the end of the year, the cluster will meet for a closing event.
