About UPPTÄCKK
UPPTÄCKK has many years of experience in various areas of the business world. From project management, Lean Six Sigma improvement projects (in, among other things, factory environments) to quality management and auditing. That, together with the knowledge of experiential learning and nature, makes for a unique combination.
Active and creative outdoor activities enable individuals and teams to become more aware of their behavior and how they can improve as a team and as an individual.
Nature
Nature is important to people. Surrounded by nature, you can discover your own nature and behavior patterns. That is why many of UPPTÄCKK’s activities are organized outside.
Experiential learning
All activities UPPTÄCKK offers are based on learning by doing and experiencing. By experiencing it yourself, what you’ve learned will stick better than when you read something or hear something from a teacher.
Active and creative
Active and creative activities facilitate growth and development.
Sustainability
UPPTÄCKK strives to conduct its business as sustainably as possible. Where possible, we use recycled materials.
Katja Kleinveld is founder of UPPTÄCKK. Her initials are in the last two letters of DISCOVERY.
“Since my childhood, I have been a great lover of nature and active outdoor sports. Many therefore thought it was surprising that after high school I started studying business administration at university instead of something related to sports or nature. After my studies, I filled various functions in the business world; from various management positions, project management positions in logistics, Insights Discovery trainer to Lean Six Sigma process improvement manager. During those years, I have become increasingly interested in the circular economy.
My experience in the field of process improvement, guiding and coaching employees, the many nature courses and the education “Adventure Education” (experiential learning in outdoor activities) have led me to start my Dutch company ONTDEKK. In Swedish it means ‘UPPTÄCKK’ (also with a double K because my first and last name start with a K).
After emigrating to Sweden in 2022, I founded UPPTÄCKK. I followed the training ‘Outdoor Activities, Crafts and Leadership’ and learned even more skills that come in handy in the Swedish nature.
As a NskiV (Holland Ski Association) certified roller-skiing and cross-country skiing instructor, I offer cross-country skiing lessons on the Engelbrekt track in Norberg.
With UPPTÄCKK, I combine all my passions and I hope to contribute to team and personal development and to make people experience nature more consciously.”
