π2023 IBlieve Impact Report OUT NOW! Reflecting on the year and preparing for the next!π€©
Monday, December 9, 2024
Happy Monday!π
The year is coming to a close and 2025 is on the horizon! During this time, it is important to track, recognise, and reflect on oneβs progress, struggles, and successes. Just like a map, you cannot know which direction to move forward in unless you have a destination and know where you are first. πΊ
As such, IBlieve has taken the chance to reflect on its previous yearβs work! Read through the 2023 Impact Report written by our hard-working Impact Leads, Nour and Daria! Their aim with this report is to familiarise the reader (you!) with IBlieve and all the ways in which we work to positively contribute to the IB student community. The report is filled with reflections from team members, data as to what our teams have achieved, and anecdotes of cherished memories.π
We hope that you also can take a step back and reflect on all that you have accomplished this year: the good and bad, highs and lows, growth and challengesβ and everything in between. To help you with that, this newsletter is filled with resources that guide you in navigating your reflections and planing for the future! Whether you are Pre-IB, DP1, or DP2 you are sure to find something.ππ
Cheering you on,
Nour Hassouna & Leila Zak πͺπ¬ππ°
Co-Executive Directors of IBlieve
