“Welcome summer” networking apero – 26 June 2018

We are pleased to announce our “welcome summer” networking apero on 26 June 2018 at the Restaurant “La Vie des Champs”, a new lively and dynamic venue near the ICRC and ILO. Join us for some drinks and finger food to welcome the summer and network with fellow communicators.

The evening will also include an interactive improv workshop by the Geneva-based
Renegade Saints. Improv is fast, fun and unpredictable. People end up exploring ideas they were not even thinking of just minutes earlier. The results are spontaneous and and often hilarious. But improv also teaches important skills such as quick thinking, cooperation, active listening, creativity and leadership. When these skills are applied at work and elsewhere, great things happen; it is no longer “business as usual.”

Date/time: 18:00-20:00, Tuesday 26 June 2018

Venue: Restaurant La Vie des Champs
Ch. de la Vie des Champs 15 Geneva 1202
Directions: the restaurant is located on a small road behind the ICRC, street parking is available in front of the ICRC and UN on Avenue de la Paix. Bus stop BIT for bus 8 is 5 minutes from the venue.
Cost: 30 CHF – includes drinks and snacks

Places are limited, so please register for the event>>

We look forward to seeing you!
