Workshop
Description
In this workshop, we will explore and experiment with the technique of collage. Through a series of creativity-unlocking exercises, we will work directly with images and experiment with composing them. Collage is art, it is play, it is freedom — yet at the same time it has a therapeutic effect, because when creating a collage piece we are also working on our inner world.
It is precisely because of the immense freedom this technique provides, as well as the ease of obtaining materials, that it becomes one of the artistic techniques most suitable for working with different types of audiences. Through collage, participants have infinite possibilities for creation and for expressing their inner experiences — in this case, expressing their feelings, emotions, and states of mind.

About the Host
I am an artist and psychologist with extensive experience designing and delivering training programs for diverse audiences across a wide range of themes, including gender equality, artistic creation through collage, and mental health promotion.
In collaboration with **Culture Vitale**, my approach to corporate teams is always tailored and needs-based. I work closely with each organization to identify the specific objectives, dynamics, and challenges of the group, ensuring that each intervention is strategically aligned with the company’s culture and goals.
From a creative and experiential perspective, I offer hands-on workshops such as collage (introductory or technique-focused sessions), handmade paper-making, and alternative artistic processes such as cyanotype. These sessions can function as stand-alone creative experiences or as part of broader organizational development initiatives.
Integrating artistic mediators with structured personal development methodologies, it is also possible to address key team-building themes — including interpersonal relationships, communication, collaboration, creativity, and personal growth within the workplace. Artistic processes create a reflective and engaging space that fosters cohesion, innovation, and emotional awareness in professional contexts.
Given my location in Covide, near Peneda-Gerês National Park, I can also design off-site experiences that combine guided nature walks with facilitated artistic expression sessions, offering teams an immersive environment conducive to reflection, connection, and renewal.
