Alumni ambassadors in China get creative with their ideas and activities

In the space of one month, ambassadors leading alumni communities in China have come up with a new take on activities.

Benoit in Hong Kong shared the organisation of a French Grandes Ecoles afterwork event with six fellow ambassadors. The result was a record 120-strong participation of alumni from the seven different schools. 
For Benoit though, the pleasure was in seeing the diversity of profiles and hearing the different stories. "It's the power of a network that counts," says Benoit. "I was talking to one alum who came to an Audenica afterwork which opened up 5 potential job opportunities for him and as a direct result of this, he is now working in HK."
 
Meanwhile,

• Qing in Shenzhen held her inaugural afterwork event for the fledgling alumni community in her home city. For Qing, success factors were the welcome message from the Dean which she was able to share with participants and the presence of Audencia professor Valerie Claude-Gaudillat who was on a teaching assignment at SABS at the time. 
• Katherine in Beijing got alumni involved in a hike round Fragrant Hills, the first outside activity for the community there.
• Eugenia in Shanghai paired up with digital expert Thibault from The Wagon to offer a 2-hour workshop to learn how to create mini-programmes for WeChat.

Talking, walking, learning, connecting - the activities in China have all contributed the making the alumni communities stronger and the friendships more lasting. The Audencia Alumni team back in Nantes has enjoyed the pictures of all the events and is looking forward to seeing many more in the coming months!
