Never alone with WeConnect
At 22 years old, they're already wearing two hats: students and entrepreneurs. In May 2023, Clémentine Offner and Ivo Silva founded WeConnect , a societal impact company that puts students looking for accommodation in touch with private individuals willing to host them in their homes. "Students and hosts share the same open-mindedness and the search for a human and social experience,- sums up Clémentine Offner. The Bachelor's student in Psychology came up with the idea for the platform in September 2021 with her colleague Ivo Silva. They both realised the extent to which the issue of housing was prevalent among their fellow students, and what started out as a purely theoretical project became a tangible reality in May 2023. Nine months later, around ten students have already been able to benefit from this advantageous accommodation package. "It's a cultural exchange, and not just an intergenerational one, as the students can learn much more about the culture and life in the Grand Duchy from their host than they could on their own,- explains Clémentine Offner.
