Mumbai, February 07: Celebrating the theme ‘Discover the World of Swiss Education’, Swiss Learning successfully concluded their concerted showcase of global learning on 3rd February 2023 at The St. Regis Mumbai. Graced by various dignitaries from Switzerland, including the Consulate General and the Founder & Director of Swiss Learning, the event witnessed a large footfall of students aged 12 to 17 along with their families.
Mr. Christophe Clivaz, Founder & Director at Swiss Learning shares his thoughts on the event. He said, “Switzerland has emerged as a prime location for research, education, and innovation. Students traveling to Switzerland are also exposed to a variety of a-graded programs in different languages. Every year, we see 50-100 Indian students travelling to Switzerland in pursuit of the country’s education excellence and world-class boarding facilities.”
The showcase began with a Leadership Masterclass hosted by Mr. Stuart Alan White, Principal, Collège Alpin Beau Soleil. The interactive networking that followed, explored the virtues of time management, emotional intelligence, decision making, problem solving, and creativity. Alumni from 2 Swiss boarding schools, namely Aiglon College and Institut Le Rosey, hosted a panel discussion with Mr. Clivaz and discussed how a Swiss education has made a lasting impact on their lives, both personally and professionally.
The event hosted in partnership with Zista Events, witnessed participation from some of the most elite boarding and hospitality schools of Switzerland, as listed below:
