Grant stories

Breathwork Trainer
“Sometimes, a personal interest can grow into something that has a meaningful impact on the people around us.” - With support from an Education Grant, Agnieszka from VELUX Polska turned a personal interest in conscious breathing into professional training and became a Certified Breathwork Trainer. What started as a way to improve her sleep has grown into workshops where she shares practical tools for stress, recovery and breathing with colleagues.
Forest Bathing
For Charlotte from VELUX A/S, Forest Bathing started with curiosity about why simply slowing down and being present in nature can have such a noticeable effect on us. An Education Grant enabled her to train as a forest bathing guide and bring that experience to colleagues. After the first sessions, colleagues described feeling calmer, more present and more connected to nature. Several have already asked for more sessions, which she says has made the experience especially meaningful.
Creative wreath-making
“The experience reminded me of the importance of making time for personal interests and self-care.” - Katarzyna from DOVISTA Poland joined a wreath-making workshop, learning new creative skills while taking time to slow down, relax and connect with others. She later shared what she had learned in a session with colleagues, giving others the chance to explore their creativity, learn something new and enjoy time together.
