At the heart of our work are children and youth

Akvariet skolen

Together with Grieg Foundation, the Bergen Aquarium is creating a new learning programme for children and young people who are not thriving in traditional school environments. By combining practical experience with animal care and teamwork, the programme seeks to strengthen confidence, foster inclusion, and help young people discover new pathways for learning and personal growth.

CARF

In vulnerable communities in São Paulo, where many families face poverty, violence, and social exclusion, the VOA Project creates pathways to opportunity and inclusion. Supported by Grieg Foundation, the programme combines arts and culture, vocational training, and targeted support for girls and young women to help children, youth, and families build resilience and shape brighter futures.

JOY

As loneliness and social isolation affect both older and younger generations, Young and Old - TOGETHER brings teenagers and older people together through shared activities, conversation, and community. Supported by Grieg Foundation, the initiative helps young people gain valuable work experience and responsibility, while creating meaningful social connections that enhance quality of life for older people.

Bringing people together through shared experiences

Krohnengen Brass

Krohnengen Brass Band brings together young musicians in an ambitious and inclusive musical community built on a shared passion for brass music. Through the “Brass for Everyone” initiative, the band provides free opportunities for children and young people to develop their musical skills, find role models, and experience the joy of belonging through music.

Miniøya

Miniøya creates a space where children and young people can experience culture, creativity, and community. Through music, arts, and shared experiences, the festival works to ensure that all children feel included and have the opportunity to participate.

Empowering people in action-driven climate projects

SEWA

Together with Grieg Green, Grieg Foundation supports SEWA’s efforts to improve the safety, rights, and livelihoods of women working in the ship recycling industry in Bhavnagar, India. The project helps strengthen economic opportunities and raise awareness of the challenges faced by women in this often-overlooked sector.

Improving women´s health and quality of life

Center for research on cardiac disease in women

Women remain underrepresented in cardiovascular research, despite heart disease being a leading cause of death among women. Supported by Grieg Foundation, the Centre for Research on Cardiac Disease in Women works to improve knowledge, awareness, and treatment of women’s heart health.
