Triskelion – 10 years of operation
This year marks a special milestone for Triskelion Norway – it’s been 10 years since our founding in 2015. Over the past decade, we have grown from a small initiative in Stavanger into a trusted partner in European and international education, health, and youth development projects, with collaborations stretching across Europe, Asia and beyond.
Our mission has always been clear:
to bridge research, education and practice through innovative projects that promote mental health, inclusion, creativity and professional competence.
A Decade of Impact
Since 2015, Triskelion Norway has coordinated and contributed to numerous Erasmus+ projects, knowledge alliances and capacity-building initiatives in:
-
Education and vocational training
-
Public health and mental wellbeing
-
Youth empowerment and creative learning
-
Digital upskilling and innovation
Through these efforts, thousands of teachers, youth workers, healthcare professionals and students have gained new skills, networks and inspiration to create positive change in their communities.
The Power of Collaboration
Our success over these 10 years has been made possible by our dedicated partners and collaborators across Europe and worldwide — organisations, universities, schools and NGOs who share our vision of learning as a force for transformation.
We thank every partner, trainer, and participant who has been part of the journey.
Looking Ahead
As we celebrate this anniversary, Triskelion Norway continues to look forward — with new initiatives in digital health, sustainable education, and creative learning already underway.
The next decade will be about deepening impact, strengthening partnerships, and continuing to innovate where education meets wellbeing.
Thank you for being part of our story.
Face Equality Training featured in South African healthcare course for cleft and craniofacial care
A key component of the Face Equality Training has been integrated into a new online course, Transformative Care Strategies for Visible Differences: Addressing Body Image and Health Determinants, specifically designed for healthcare workers involved in the care of individuals with cleft lip, palate, and craniofacial conditions. This course was part of the “South African Comprehensive Cleft Care Workshop (CCCW)” in 2024, which provided emerging and intermediate healthcare providers with the opportunity to gain essential knowledge and develop competency in cleft care.
By incorporating the Face Equality Training, the course equips healthcare professionals to not only address the medical needs of patients but also to consider the psychosocial and body image challenges faced by individuals with visible differences. This holistic approach promotes better care outcomes and empowers healthcare workers to deliver more compassionate and inclusive care.
The next workshop is in Colombia in October 2025
Successful promotion and training day in Utrecht, Netherlands for Face Equality 14. May 2025
Dr Nichola Rumsey represented Triskelion to help the European Cleft Association with the promotion, being the former head of the centre for appearance research in Bristol.
We had an enthusiastic group of 11 participants comprising health professionals, a patient representative and an EU Erasmus+ project manager from the Dutch national agency . Medical centres represented were Utrecht MC, Amsterdam MC, Nijmegen MC and Rotterdam MC so an excellent spread with surgery, psychology and nursing represented as well has health administrators.
The day was very interactive with lots of discussion and ended with the group trying to develop a mini campaign around a made up scenario of face discrimination in the workplace which they really enjoyed.
We were also delighted to learn, on the day itself, that the training had been awarded 4 Continuing Medical Education (CME) points by the European Accreditation Council on CME (EACCME) based in Brussels. This means they have accepted it as an accredited training event. Registration for this was complicated and we are delighted that the EACCME has seen the huge value in this type of training which goes well beyond traditional medical training.
Feedback was excellent with an overall score of 3.65 out ot 4 for all topics covered.
