Join our next Open Day
Every year, Dare All Trades Day, or “Journée Oser tous les Métiers” (JOM), invites children in Switzerland to join adults in the workplace for some first-hand career inspiration. Pupils in grades 7 to 9 spend the day accompanying an adult of the opposite sex to work. In this way, the initiative aims to combat gender stereotypes in the workplace and expose children to different professions.
For this year’s edition on 9 November, we allowed Champittet students to join their parents at work while we opened our doors to the children of our employees for a taste of professional life. With 22 children joining us in the workplace, this was our biggest Dare All Trades Day yet!
Working alongside adults, our young participants gained insight into a variety of professions, from sports to culinary arts, geography, and science.
The day began with breakfast in our Café 1903. The children then split into groups, each discovering a different professional sector hands-on. One group participated in a sports class; the second group learned about early childcare in our preschool; the third group helped prepare lunch with our Eldora catering team; and the fourth group followed a geography lesson taught in English.
After lunch, a treasure hunt provided the perfect excuse for everyone to explore the many parts of our campus. The day concluded with a wonderful series of scientific experiments carried out in our Villa des Sciences and an afternoon snack.
We hope that this varied programme offered a chance to discover the vocation of education and its many different departments!
