Pillar 4: Healthy Bodies and Minds

During our well-being session—and following our previous discussions on nutrition and physical activity in the first two weeks—we explored the importance of mindfulness and its benefits.

The two key takeaway points for this week were: a) Understanding mindfulness and its benefits and b) Learning simple techniques to incorporate mindfulness into daily life.

We also watched a video created for the advocates of this pillar about the importance of mindfulness.

International Dinners at Collège du Léman: Iranian Evening – Happy Nowruz & Welcome Spring!

Tonight, we celebrated Iranian culture with a special international dinner at Collège du Léman. The event honored Nowruz, the Persian New Year, which symbolizes renewal and the arrival of spring. Students enjoyed an exquisitely prepared Iranian feast, immersed themselves in traditional music, and learned about the rich customs associated with this festive occasion.

Adding to the special atmosphere, we were delighted to welcome back a former student, Amirhossein, who kindly helped serve traditional dishes from his country.

What a magnificent evening to welcome spring!
