Christmas, together

Five Christmas experiences for teams in Barcelona. Make something with your hands, explore a gallery, build an interactive invention or close the year with a good conversation. Each one lasts one to two hours, fits before your Christmas dinner and gives people something to talk about long after it.

A team at the pixel art workshop with Iñaki Díaz

A Christmas gathering with a reason

The end of the year is one of the few moments when the whole team is in the same room. Most companies fill it with a dinner. We add something before it: an hour or two where people make, explore or talk together, guided by artists, designers and experts from Barcelona.

Teams from Dow Jones, GBSB Global Business School, UPF and Damm have worked with us.

How we are different from the usual team activity

An escape room or a cooking class fills an afternoon. Our experiences are designed so people leave with something more.

Five experiences for this Christmas

Origami workshop with Yuko Nakajima
01

Origami with Yuko Nakajima: paper stars for the season

Origami comes from the Japanese words for fold (ori) and paper (kami), and in Japan folding a thousand paper cranes is linked to making a wish.

Japanese artist Yuko Nakajima guides your team through folding paper stars and ornaments, one fold at a time. It is calm and precise, and people end up helping each other, laughing at the first attempts and leaving with something they made.

Pixel art workshop with Iñaki Díaz
02

Pixel art with Iñaki Díaz: a team Christmas card, pixel by pixel

Pixel art was born from the limits of early computers and video games, when every pixel was placed by hand, and has grown into a digital art form of its own.

Artist Iñaki Díaz shows your team how to create images with a small grid and a limited palette. Each person designs a pixel ornament or card, and together they build one shared piece for the office.

Touch the Future: play a carol on a banana
