  • Do you need to develop and design meeting and workshop agendas as a part of your work?
  • Do you find yourself facilitating meetings and workshops, or breakout groups?
  • Are you working on a big conference that brings together many stakeholders or communities to learn and work together?
  • Do you want all these events to have real results, and are memorable for being interactive and enjoyable?

If you answered "yes" to any of the above questions, then you should take a look at some of the courses being offered in 2017 by Bright Green Learning Academy (featured on our site last year). As Certified Professional Facilitators and Trainers, they are starting their new series of winter and spring courses on 23 January, with courses designed to help people build their facilitation skills, and design their meetings and workshops better, making them interactive, and ensuring they get results. (No more boring and useless meetings!)

How often do you ask yourself the following questions?

-    Could I reduce my taxes more?
-    How can I best secure my family’s healthcare?
-    Is Swiss social security working for me?
-    Have I got the best rate for my mortgage?
-    Can I maintain my current life-style in retirement?

There are many financial products on the market and it can be difficult to make the right choice among such a wide range of options. Pressed for time, and with little interested in the fine detail, private individuals rarely find the most appropriate products to suit all their requirements.

innovage

The Suisse Romande chapter of a nationwide Swiss volunteer organization is calling on retired professionals to help them in a range of benevolent projects throughout Switzerland.

Set up in 2006 with the support of Pour-cent Culturel Migros and the Haute Ecole Spécialisée de Lucerne – Travail Social, Innovage makes use of the considerable expertise of retired professional staff to help them in a wide range of voluntary projects where the costs of employing highly skilled consultants would normally be prohibitively expensive.

Today, Innovage is made of 9 different chapters throughout Switzerland, each with its own team of 10 to 30 retired or semi-retired professionals, typically aged between 55 and 75 years old, each keen to support volunteer organizations in whatever areas they can, depending on their needs and the expertise available.

In the past, typical projects have included replacing the computing and network infrastructure for the Alzheimer’s Association in Switzerland, helping teenagers who are between school and apprenticeship, or simply advising on the restructure of a professional team. You can find out more information on the projects in which Innovage Suisse Romande (ISR) has been involved over the last few years, by clicking here.

Zoé4life, a registered non-profit organization based in the Suisse Romande region, is hosting a special event in the beautiful lake-side town of Rolle on 1 October 2016. Called Day4Life, this team-building and family-friendly event will mark the end of International Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in September, during which many awareness activities will take place, including the illumination in gold of Geneva’s Jet d’eau for the 4th year in a row.

To help them prepare for this day of solidarity, the charity organizers are asking local businesses to offer their support by becoming a partner in the event. There is a large range of sponsorship opportunities, to suit all budget levels. For example, for Fr. 200.-, businesses can have their logo printed on placemats that will be distributed in local cafés and restaurants from July 2016 onwards. For Fr. 10,000.- organizations can expect to receive a full package of benefits including: their logo on banners, posters, and flyers; a logo and link back to their website from the charity website supporting the event: a company booth at the event: and last, but not least, the option to take part in a great team-building event, all in the name of a great cause.

You can see the full range of options by downloading the sponsorship package here.
