Building Digital Resilience: MustardSeed at The Joint Universities CLC Formation 2026

From February 13th to 15th, 2026, the Christian Life Community (CLC) held its joint formation at the University of Eldoret, and Mustardseed engaged the CLCers on employment issues and the skills needed in today’s job market. Building on last year’s introduction of the program into the formation, MustardSeed continued to play a key role in equipping students with practical skills that complement their spiritual growth.

This year, the session emphasized digital safety and real-world adaptation to the evolving cybersecurity landscape, providing participants with actionable strategies to stay safe while pursuing opportunities online.

The formation brought together participants from 16 institutions of higher learning across the country, creating a vibrant space for learning, exchange, and community building among young people from diverse academic backgrounds.

In addition to the learning sessions, participants also took part in a tree-planting exercise, reinforcing the importance of environmental stewardship and collective responsibility. This activity reflected a shared commitment not only to personal and professional growth, but also to caring for the environment and contributing positively to society.

The Christian Life Community (C.L.C) continues to provide a holistic formation experience rooted in the spirituality of St. Ignatius of Loyola, nurturing both the inner and outer lives of students. Through this ongoing collaboration, MustardSeed remains dedicated to bridging the gap between faith and practical life skills—ensuring that young people are not only spiritually grounded, but also well-prepared to navigate the demands and opportunities of the modern world.
