A five-step action plan sets out a clear framework until the centenary launch in 2027.

The new director faces exciting challenges: structuring the Foundation, organising its work, strengthening internal and external collaborations, and above all, building relationships. Added to this is a challenge that affects us all: supporting and encouraging students in an uncertain international context, where access to education, security and mobility can no longer be guaranteed.

1. August 2025: active listening: not as a spectator, but as an active participant: visiting every household, sleeping on site, meeting and working with everyone, listening to what is going well and what needs to change. This approach says it all: the future of St-Justin is being built with those who work, live and spend time there. Not from a distance, not from above, but together.

2. September 2025: the reorganisation begins, supported by all employees. Nine colleagues from Fribourg spend a day helping the Geneva team clear out the home, then one caretaker and one housekeeper work one day a week on site, providing an opportunity to forge good relationships.

3. October-November 2025: the initial guidelines are approved by the Executive Committee and then the Foundation Board: setting out a vision for the future of the Foundation.

4. January-September 2026: development of the 2040 vision through a participatory process involving people from different backgrounds.

5. December 2026: approval of the vision.

2027: CELEBRATION OF 100 YEARS OF ST-JUSTIN AND PRESENTATION OF THE 2040 VISION.
