FOUNDER

Call to my colleagues

I am Jakko Woudenberg, from the Netherlands.
Master parquet layer. Artist.
Father of three children.

And I will get straight to the point.

Look at what a mess the world has become.
Polarization. Division.
Left against right.
Black against white.
Everyone clinging to their own truth.

[/fusion_text][fusion_accordion border_size=”1″ title_tag=”h4″ hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility”][fusion_toggle title=”READ MORE” open=”no”]

We have learned nothing from history.
We keep making the same mistakes, over and over.
Because we would rather point fingers than take responsibility.
Because we would rather take than give.

We all see it, but nobody acts.
We no longer see, hear, or understand each other.
We have lost connection.

And I tell you this:
As long as you do nothing,
you are part of the problem.

But deep down, you already know.
We are 95% the same.
We want to be heard.
We want to be seen.
And we want to contribute.
We want to see our children grow up safely.
What we are missing… is connection.

This is not the way.
This path only brings misery.
And I feel called to the front.
Not to fight against people,
but to reconnect the world.

🔥 But listen carefully…

This is not the end of the story.
This is the beginning.
Because that same pain…
that same struggle…
we can transform into strength.

And no one knows that better than we do.
We are parquet layers.
We lay parquet floors.

And a parquet floor is never just a floor.
It is the foundation on which lives are built.
The floor where children take their first steps.
Where families come together.
Where memories remain for generations.

[/fusion_text][fusion_accordion border_size=”1″ title_tag=”h4″ hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility”][fusion_toggle title=”READ MORE” open=”no”]

No one sees how many hours, how much precision,
how much heart and soul go into a floor.
But we know it.
And that is our pride.

Our craftsmanship is what connects us.
And that craftsmanship lives in parquet floors.

Whether you work in Amsterdam, Athens, or Auckland —
our craft speaks the same language.
Parquet layers understand each other, all over the world.
And that makes us unique.

And that is why it makes sense that we take the lead.
We always lay the foundation.
Literally.
And now we are laying the foundation of something greater: a movement.

The principle is simple.
One helps three.
Three help nine.
And so on.
Until the whole world is reconnected.

I cannot do this alone.
And I do not want to do this alone.
The strength lies within us.
In you. In me. In us together.

[/fusion_text][fusion_accordion border_size=”1″ title_tag=”h4″ hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility”][fusion_toggle title=”READ MORE” open=”no”]

This is our moment.
Our parquet floors.
Our craft.
Our pride.
Our connection.

And you know what?
We are so often told that we cannot do something.
Let us prove them all wrong.
Because there is always a way.

So I call on you:
Stand by my side.
Join us.
Sign up.
Spread the word.
Take part.

Together we will show that parquet layers not only lay floors…
but can also reconnect the world.

🌍 One for all, all for one.
