Engaging with the younger generation

In the year 2015/16, the CAUX-Initiatives of Change Foundation was invited by AIESEC to deliver workshops to students on four themes:“Working in an Intercultural Team”, “You as a leader”, “Handling Leadership Challenges” and “Facilitation Tools for Meetings”.  The workshops took place in Fribourg, Bern, Basel, Zürich, Lugano and during AIESEC Switzerland’s National Assembly in Leysin, Switzerland.

The workshops aimed at inspiring, equipping and connecting students to work together more effectively in order to tackle challenges in their immediate environment and lead diverse and intercultural teams in view of a more just, peaceful and sustainable world.

In the evaluation of the workshops, 80 out of 133 participants (60%) said that they expected it to make a considerable to high difference in the way they live their life or do their job.  A participant wrote that “the workshop was very motivating, inspiring, innovative, […] amazing!” and another wants to now “go out there and be a leader instead of talking about it!”.

The CAUX-Initiatives of Change Foundation is immensely grateful to its team of highly qualified and motivated volunteer trainers and facilitators who are contributing to sharing their knowledge and skills, as well as the Foundation’s approach and values with the younger generation.
