Javier Royo in Bogotá for an open lesson on creativity.

 
Next September, the IED team will travel to Colombia with Javier Royo, designer, illustrator, creativity expert and faculty at the IED Kunsthal Bilbao.  
 
During his visit, Javier Royo will give a series of workshops and conferences with our allies in Colombia. From September 18 to 21, he will visit some of the most renowned universities in that country that offer programs related to the creative industries sector.   
“Creativity - Combing your hair every day with creativity” is the name of the conference that will take place in different Colombian cities and in which the following questions will be addressed:  

How can I exercise it in my daily life? What is the creative process? How can I learn to develop it to evolve? How can I ask different questions that lead me to different results?  
 
Date: Wednesday, September 18  
 
Time: 6:00 p.m.  
 
Location: Founders Auditorium of the UEB Universidad El Bosque.  
 
Address: Block A. Carrera 9 #131a-2. Bogotá.  
 


During both events, you will have the opportunity to learn about the IED, its academic offer and its schools in Spain and Italy.   
You will also be able to ask questions related to the study plans, costs, scholarships, admission requirements, discounts and promotions.
