We want to give them the courage to discover their own inspiration and the tools to turn their dreams into reality.
WHAT WE TEACH
Digital Communication for the Arts
We advocate a new humanistic approach to digital technology, where innovation and efficiency brought by digital are at the service of the fulfilment of the real human needs: culture, comprehension, empathy, beauty. With our 20+ years experience in digital technology for culture we accompany our students in an adventurous trip of endless ways to make their cultural dreams come true.

Design Thinking for Culture
Who are you designing for? Have you got the creativity in you? Is making mistakes not only forgivable, but even desirable? Design Thinking is a powerful method to answer those questions in a new and empowering way. We have developed our own specific version for cultural organisations (have a look at how we applied it to the Museo Egizio and the Imperial War Museums London) and we love sharing it with energetic and hands-on workshops.
Cultural Entrepreneurship in the Digital Era
We want to radically change your approach to working in the cultural sector. No longer streams of CVs sent to museums or countless internships. Working in culture does not mean working IN museums and galleries, it means working WITH museums and galleries. Creating your own company is a hard but incredibly exciting adventure that can bring out the best of yourself. Find your niche, find your buddies, and let’s go!
Experience Design for Cultural Tourism
A different tourism is possible. Tourism can broaden your horizons, bring people together, make the world a better, friendlier, kindler, more environmentally conscious place. Working on quality vs quantity, designing human centred tourist experiences can create sustainable and fulfilling jobs. Our experience in designing and promoting cultural touristic experiences in Milan, Malta, the UK and Barcelona is at the service of our students, to help them invent their own.
Audio for Culture
"with a podcast your voice is straight into the mind of the listener". Imagine how many valuable ideas you can convey by being able to do so. As producers of award winning podcasts for the Malta Tourism Authority and writers of a pioneering technical manual, we have designed interactive workshops to make everyone able to create a podcast not only technically good, but engaging and effective.
Let's fill this city with sound ideas.
OUR APPROACH
HANDS-ON
We stimulate participants with continuous practical exercises based on real situations spicing everything up with competitive and adrenaline driven learning activities.
HEARTS ON
After engaging hands and minds, the next focal point of our method is to make participants feel with their heart. We stimulate their passion and creativity to increase the educational and emotional impact.
MINDS-ON
Following up the practical exercises we bring a theoretical framework to the participants, providing them with more information and in-depth to understand the general context..
SPOT ON
The final step is to make participants focus on how they can apply independently what they learnt in every facet of their professional life.
