The cultural appropriation workshop at Hammerfest was extremely beneficial. It is a multi-layered theme in which more knowledge not only ensures that you see things (earlier), but also that you can express them better. We learned a lot as a team during the workshop, which we could apply in our work. Highly recommended for every organization and every individual.
— Baba Touré, Founder / Managing Director Hammerfest
Having Nadine at the office sharing her knowledge did not only led to a better understanding of diversity, equity and inclusion, but it also brought us closer together as a team. Everybody dared to open up in the safe space which Nadine was able to create with her presensence and personality. Thank you, Nadine! We are looking forward to continuing our work together.’
