Activities and projects
We want to create a destination with different ACTIVITIES, workshops and D.I.Y., seminars and lectures, innovative activites focusing on colour, design and technology. The centre will also accommodate different DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS, collaboration with colleges, universities and a wide range of companies.
