A peek behind the scenes

Celebration Vibeke

Celebration time!
Because, as from 12 November 2023, Vibeke Funch Madsen has met the requirements for becoming officially a PANat assistant teacher. She has accomplished and assisted already on the advance course in Allensbach (DE).

Vibeke in action

Vibeke was "discovered" by Birgitte Gammeltoft, retired PANat teacher, and introduced to the group of PANat teachers as a candidate. After being accepted as a trainee, she attended several courses and continuing education with her mentors Franziska Wälder and Gail Cox Steck.
We are very happy to now have 2 assistants in our midst. Together with Tiziana Sägesser, Vibeke rejuvenates our team. They make the future of PANat looks bright.
