In addition to gaining new knowledge, participants' faces lit up with smiles as they had the opportunity to bring home their handmade soaps at the end of the session. The organization of this program is seen as a success in strengthening the camaraderie among staff members while fostering a creative, healthy, and sustainable lifestyle in the workplace.
