Bringing the Beat to the Sea · Since 2019 info@stichtingtwan.nl

Our mission at The Work and Adventure Network (TWAN) is to provide emotional support and cultural experiences for those who work in the offshore industry and cannot attend music festivals. We recognize the unique challenges that these individuals face and aim to bring a moment of joy and connection to their lives. Our goal is to foster a sense of community among offshore workers and to promote mental health and well-being. Join us in our mission to bring the power of music and culture to those who deserve it most.

Activities

Live Music Performances

Music and culture for all, event off-shore

While offshore workers may not be able to attend music festivals, they can still enjoy live music performances. Your foundation could organize live music events on offshore platforms or vessels, featuring local musicians or artists.

As often as we can!

Cultural Events

Culture is restricted to beeing on the shore

Consider organizing cultural events that celebrate the diversity of different cultures and traditions. This includes food festivals, dance performances, or art exhibitions.

Mostly in Summer, check us out on Instagram!

Sporting Events

Get a move on!

Organizing sporting events can be a great way to promote physical activity and team building among offshore workers. Consider organizing soccer or volleyball tournaments, or even virtual fitness challenges.

Mental Health Workshops

A holistic vision on health

Working in the offshore industry can be mentally challenging, and your foundation could organize mental health workshops to provide offshore workers with tools and resources to manage stress and anxiety.

Workshops and private sessions every month
