Christmas Workshop 2025

ADHD Norway Bergen Local Chapter, Psykiatrialliansen, and the Betanien Foundation invite you to a Christmas workshop that’s a little out of the ordinary — complete with a café and chill-out zone, sports in the gym, and hands-on crafting stations. Our home at Betanien has many rooms — quite literally!

Where: Vestlundveien 19, 5145 Fyllingsdalen
When: Sunday, 23 November, 13:00–15:00

Here’s the programme:

A. The Yellow Room

ADHD Café & Chill Zone – especially for adults and seniors.
Enjoy coffee or tea, with no pressure to chat, create, or do anything at all. You’re welcome to talk if you'd like, and a peer supporter is available.
Soft lighting, low sound, and a quiet area for anyone who needs a break from the bustle.


B. The Canteen

Christmas Cracker Station
Make one — or ten!
Here we give toilet rolls a new life as something that actually bangs.
Create your own homemade crackers, complete with a snap and sweets inside.
Add a small personal note if you like, turn them into playful place cards, or even use them as decorations on the Christmas cake.
Feel free to bring toilet rolls or leftover wrapping paper if you have some!


C. The Canteen

Clove-Studded Oranges
For those who enjoy calm, scents, and soothing repetitive work.
Decorate oranges with cloves — either as a traditional Advent countdown or as your own little piece of art.
Make patterns: dots, spirals, initials… whatever you fancy.


D. The Canteen

Gift Tags & Christmas Cards
We’ve set up a “stamp buffet” with shape stamps and letter stamps, plus markers, pencils, and watercolours.


E. The Gym Hall

Floorball & Sports Activities
For ages 13 and up, adults, and seniors.
Got lots of energy and need a break from the quiet stations? Come to the gym and get moving!
Here you can:

Run and burn off energy to find your calm again

Play short, informal matches

Take shots on goal

We also have yoga mats for anyone who wants to do some light tumbling or stretching in the foyer!
