# Icebreakers

If you're unsure how to start your first conversation with your mentor or mentee, these Icebreakers might help you:

* How would you describe your current occupation in ONE word?
* Which THREE aspects of your occupation would you like to change?
* Games, like “10 things in common” (<https://www.vvauban.com/blog/ice-breaker-10-things-in-common>)
* Fun Facts: Most daredevil thing you've ever done and why, Person living or dead that you most want to meet and why, ...
* Talk about an unpleasant situation you experienced at school/uni/work. What did (you) change since then?

...
