After 30 to 40 minutes, walking releases endorphins which contribute to our feeling of well-being, allows us to better situate ourselves in our life and strengthens our self-esteem. This is particularly true in nature, which liberates tension and allows people to step back by observing biodiversity. Select a path based on the free time you have ahead of you and enjoy!

Adapt the format of your meeting according to what you expect from your audience.
You want your participants to be able to:
- describe and explain your content: a document to read or a presentation will suffice
- argue and apply the concepts presented: an oral presentation with impactful visual aids is the most suitable
- analyze, create and evaluate for themselves: a workshop where they are active (speaking, experiments, writing, role playing ...) is essential.
For each of these formats corresponds an adapted set-up. Think about it!
During a seminar, the agenda is sometimes busy. It is therefore vital to respect the time contract. Designate a time-keeper whose role is precisely to ensure that schedules are respected.
Feeling good together is also feeling good alone. Spending 15 minutes alone and disconnected from electronic devices considerably reduces the impact of strong (positive and negative) emotions thus making future communication with the group easier. Save time for yourself ... Go for a walk in the park, for example!

The production of neurons decreases with age but it is possible to stimulate their production. Fighting against routine is an efficient way to produce new neurons. Neurobics is the brain gym that can be easily practiced every day: exercise, learn something new and change your habits. Why don't you get started today?

The right connection is not just about being online and chatting via the internet. In fact, 68% of professionals favor face-to-face meetings. Take advantage of your stay at Les Fontaines to chat with your colleagues during breaks and free time: the aim of the seminar is also to get together.

Collective memory is a repertoire of past stories shared by a group. This is not necessarily the truth. It is not, either, History in the scientific sense. It is the conceptualization or interpretation of events that mark a group for a long time. This is why having common memories is a guarantee of cohesion within a company. Our suggestion: discuss with your colleagues to give a title to the event you are experiencing. This will help create a collective memory.
