Every kid has ideas. Most never do anything with them.
This course changes that.

I believe inside every kid is an entrepreneur. Not necessarily someone who wants to be "CEO" but someone capable of seeing a problem, imagining a solution, and making it real.

In this course, your child will:
✓ Develop a real business idea: something they actually care about, not an abstract project
✓ Understand the market: Who needs this? Why? Who else offers it? Why would theirs be better?
✓ Create a simple business plan: the version that actually works, not 50 pages of jargon
✓ Design a brand: logo, name, story. Why their business exists (not just to make money)
✓ Build and test their idea: even at small scale, they'll see if people actually want what they created
✓ Learn to lead a team: we work in groups, so they'll experience real collaboration
✓ Use technology smartly: real tools to grow a business
✓ Get feedback from real entrepreneurs: not just from me, but from people building things right now

Why this is different:
Most "entrepreneurship courses for kids" teach theory. Here we build something real.
Your child won't just learn about entrepreneurship. They'll experience it: having an idea, developing it, sharing it, and getting genuine feedback.

Some will have a business. Others will discover it's not for them. Both are successes because they learned something real about themselves.

What they take home:
A complete business plan. A brand they designed. A presentation they delivered. And most importantly: the conviction that their ideas matter and they can make them real.

Format: Online or Barcelona | 60–90 min sessions | Group and individual work, flexible

For kids with big ideas and adults who want to nurture them.

Have you always dreamed of the world of fashion and being able to express your style?
Now is your chance! Delve into Fashion Design, where you can unleash your creativity and learn the necessary skills to make a fashion collection and make your own clothes.

What do I offer in this course?

- Personalized learning: I will guide you step by step, adapting to your skill level and experience. From beginners to fashion enthusiasts, everyone is welcome.
- Practical classes: Learn by doing. I will guide you on the necessary tools and materials so that you can immerse yourself in the exciting world of design and sewing from day one.
- Fashion design: Discover everything from color theory and human anatomy to capture your first ideas and transfer them to a technical drawing to develop patterns and bring your ideas to life.
- Design of accessories and footwear: Because fashion is not only clothes, there is a huge world behind accessories and if it is true that they are complementary, the way of working is very different. If you would like to know more about sneakers or bags, we can focus on this beautiful world.
- Learn about fabrics: A good use of materials is essential for our designs to work. We will work on conventional materials and with other not so conventional ones to work on creativity.
- Digital tools: Adobe programs are essential in fashion design. Depending on your level I can teach you from the basics or if you already know these tools I can give you support to improve your level. The programs that we will work with will be Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign.
- Advanced design techniques: Discover the latest trends and techniques in the world of fashion design. From basic concepts to cutting-edge techniques.
- Portfolio: I will teach you what you need to create your portfolio and thus be able to show the world your work.
- Creativity!: This is the most fun part of the whole process. We'll do practical work on creativity so you never run out of ideas.
- Sewing and pattern making: Pattern making and sewing are the foundations of our designs. It is essential to have this under control. If you've never made a pattern or touched a sewing machine, don't worry, I'll help you from the beginning. If what you need is to improve your technique, I will also be happy to help you.

Don't wait any longer to unleash your creativity and make your dreams come true!
I will be happy to meet you and be able to help you with whatever you need.
