Stories
Inspiring engagement!
Soft sound improves sleep quality in dementia
"On the one hand, poor sleep leads to additional problems for patients, which also affects their caregivers, often resulting in institutionalisation. On the other hand, we wonder whether poor-quality deep sleep could worsen the disease or perhaps even contribute to its development."
Sportswitch: THE recycling center for sports clothing
Inclusive transition
“We want to raise awareness about the sustainability of sports clothing.”
“Alaska - Mexico by handcycle? Michiel did it!”
"I did it, of course, for myself, because I want to keep traveling. But I also want to inspire other people with disabilities. Your world doesn’t have to become small after an accident."
