🌟 Reflections from EduFest 2026

On Friday 5th June, Dr Mecky and Dr Michelle were excited to be invited back to EduFest Le Rosey for a second time, joining an inspiring community of educators, students and parents committed to learning and positive change.

Inspired by Michelle Gyles McDonnough's message of curiosity, empathy, authenticity, and the belief that together we are stronger, they facilitated sessions on psychological safety, burnout prevention, and preparing student well-being ambassadors for their peer-listening role.

A particular highlight was meeting Damien from Coffee Foundation and discussing the importance of breaking down barriers around mental health through open, non-judgmental conversations and community connection.

Grateful to be part of a growing movement that brings people together to reflect, connect, and make a difference.

Dr Michelle recently led a Mountain First Aid training for the Ski Club International de Genève (SCIG).

From CPR and AED use to managing fractures, head and spinal injuries, major bleeding, and calling for help, participants developed the skills to respond to emergencies in remote and challenging settings.

If your sports club would like to learn more, get in touch to find out how we can tailor training to your needs.
