Purpose always comes first

At Unu Mondo, we envision a flourishing world and humanity on all levels. Fueled by our endless optimism we believe that we can all be part of the change.

Understanding each other is fundamental to fostering deeper human connections, leading to greater peace—yes, we truly believe in that. We embrace the New Way at Nyway GmbH: of how we work, the new (or maybe ancient) way of connecting with others, and the new way (or just most obvious way) of learning a language.

With a strong foundation of values, we are bridge builders at heart. At Unu Mondo we can all finally be our authentic selves at work, who thrive with freedom. We love what we do and we are all devoted to grow, serve and learn from each other.

A real team

Welcome to our team of language & integration coaches, spread across Switzerland yet united by a common purpose: foster more human connection.

As a team we regularly come together to truly see, hear and learn from each other. Those gatherings serve as the heartbeat of our collaboration.

Together we delve into topics such as internalised beliefs and vulnerability, sharing raw and honest reflections. We learn to create safer spaces for our clients, drawing inspiration and support from one another. Through ongoing training and peer coaching, we continuously refine our skills and deepen our understanding of our profession.

These gatherings are more than just meetings—they are moments of nourishment and renewal, where we gather inspiration to carry into our work. As we come together, we emerge more connected, and are ready to make a difference in the lives of those we serve.

Behind the scenes

We’ve been around: languages, culture, life coaching,
energetics, personal development, integration work,
social work, entrepreneurship, tourism, hospitality, and workshop facilitation
have been our domains for decades.
