Enverga University Foundation, conducted “Pause for Purpose: EUr Mindful Reflection and Gratitude – Expressive Art Activity," Mar. 26.

A total of 31 employees participated in the pre-break initiative, which encouraged them to pause from daily responsibilities and reconnect with their thoughts and emotions.

Pauline Joy Rabina and Adrian Carlo Villanera, HR generalists, facilitated the highlight activity titled “Expressive Art: Turning Feelings Into Art,” where participants translated their emotions into visual representations.
