The meeting was moderated by Monica Chadha, Independent Director, Mocha 8.
We kicked-off the session with an interview with our inspirational speaker, Jane Hastings, CEO, EVT, who shared her own successes and challenges as a female leader in the industry as well as precious and concrete advice. This was followed by Q&As.
After this inspiring exchange, the 8th edition of mentors and mentees had the opportunity to share more about their mentoring experience and best practices. They provided valuable insights on dos and don’ts.
As always, the session was empowering – and way too short! It was also the official launch of the 9th edition and our new intake - names were officially unveiled on that day - will get a chance to meet again in an online group meeting in July.
UNIC also organised drinks on the evening of the same day, as a networking occasion for all previous and current editions. The event attracted around 30 women of the sector.
We already look forward to the next in-person session of the group, which will take place during the UNIC Cinema Days on 20 November 2025 in Brussels. Until then, mentors and mentees of the ninth edition will work on their mentoring goals, participate in online individual and group meetings, and UNIC will be there to facilitate their journey.
