This is a very interactive experience designed

to stimulate creativity, cooperation and

communication. Although Picasso was born in

Malaga, Spain, he spent many years living in

Barcelona as a struggling artist learning his

trade. Famed for developing the style of

painting known as cubism, his creative

footprints are evident throughout the city. In

this experience you will create a collage based

on a famous piece of Picasso artwork.

Page 40: Incentives ICONO 2010

Firstly you will be split into groups and taken on a 30 minute Picasso tour of the city centre. The

tour is an extremely informative historical look at the life of Picasso. Along the walk, your team

must stay alert and be observant, as you will have to pick up various materials and objects, which

represent the ‘spirit of Picasso’. Attention! The idea is to be as creative as possible.

The second part of this experience takes place back at the

workshop. There will be a quiz consisting of 10 questions based

on the tour. For each correct question, the team receives a

bonus in the form of a required ‘tool’ for the collage. You will be

given 45 minutes to 1 hour to create your Picasso masterpiece.

Each team then elects a spokesperson to give a 30 second

explanation of the ideas behind their creations. The winning

team will be judged by our art experts.

Lunch/dinner is also an option

Pintxos Workshop

The gastronomic relevance of the pintxo, also

known as miniature cuisine, is due in great

part to the Basque Country and its traditions.

In the early 20th Century small taverns

appeared in the Basque Country, places to

share the country’s best ciders and wines

together with traditional foods in an informal

and popular atmosphere. Following the

example of the cider-makers, bite-sized

toothpick foods known as pintxos were served

to counter the excesses caused by drinking.

Page 54: Incentives ICONO 2010

Cider houses and taverns are and have always been a cultural legacy in theBasque Country. A legacy that this activity wishes to conserve and convertinto a meeting place of the past with the present, where culture and relationscan come together.

For groups interested in this appetizing gastronomic art, this teambuildingactivity offers the chance to participate in its pintxos workshop. Anentertaining activity that forms part of our country’s culture, designed to teachand be enjoyed at the same time.
