Reinvigorate your creativity in Barcelona this summer! Vibrant and intense, Barcelona is a fabulous setting to experience a CREO Institute workshop: Stroll down Las Ramblas for a dinner of tapas and sangria, enjoy the vibrant Catalonian street life of the Gothic Quarter, walk in the impressionist footsteps of Gaudi in the Sagrada Familia and the Park Güel, spend an afternoon studying the 20th-century’s most prolific artist at the Picasso Museum or finish the day on the summit of Montjüic for spectacular views of one of Europe's most vibrant cities.
During our summer creativity workshops in Europe, you will be immersed in a variety of intense, interactive experiences that will challenge you to explore and define your personal and creative goals as well as to develop a deeper awareness of your creative potential, challenges, and strengths.
The workshops provide tools, techniques, and strategies that you will be able to apply throughout your personal and professional lives to continuously foster your own creative spirit and work and to make a positive impact in your own life and on the lives of others.
The cost of tuition is $1,250 per workshop and does not include accommodations or airfare and other travel expenses.
The workshop will be held at Hotel Granvía from July 19 - July 24, 2009.
The workshop will meet from 8:30 a.m. to noon.
