Annual Network Meeting kite-mentoring 2026

Role models often have a more subtle influence than we realize. They are embedded in expectations and in statements that we rarely question ourselves.

Making them visible is the first step toward changing them.

Role models help with this: They show what is possible, provide guidance, and encourage us to forge our own path.

That is exactly what the 14. kite-mentoring Annual Network Meeting is all about.
