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?

Time: 6:00 p.m.  
 
Location: Founders Auditorium of the UEB Universidad El Bosque.
