Explore the richness of your personality

Following the success of our previous autumn editions, and based on your feedback, we are introducing an additional Spring edition, hosted in a larger venue.

We are Whats4u, a collective of 17 alumni associations from leading French Grandes Écoles, with a clear mission:

connect alumni and inspire futures.

This time, we invite you to dive into the mysterious world of psychology.

We have designed a complete journey for you, including:

• Access to a personality test
• A comprehensive personal report
• An optional preparatory webinar
• An evening filled with music, insights, humour, interaction, discovery – and, of course, good food and drinks

A perfect blend of knowledge, fun, connection and inspiration.

Programme overview

Before the event (2–3 weeks ahead)

You will be invited to complete a personality test (optional and entirely for your personal use – we will not have access to your results). A comprehensive personal report will then be generated for you.

10 March · 13:00 - 13:45 and 18:30 – 19:15 (optional webinar)

A live session to help you make the most of your report and answer any questions about the assessment.

What our community says from previous editions

"It was different from other networking events where you just listen to a panel and then have drinks. Whats4u engaged the participants through smaller workshop groups which made the "networking" aspect of the evening less daunting, more natural and organic. I really liked the format which to me was a perfect way to ease into an evening where the aim is to talk to a lot of different people."

"Good atmosphere, easy to access, not too late during the day and very good program / time management."

"I really had a good time, the pace was good, the panelists interesting, the workshops and the networking as well!"
