AmiArte, artistic creation workshop
The artistic creation workshop AmiArte in Bilbao works day by day with people in difficulties with the aim of sharing with them artistic and professional experiences from a multi-disciplinary point of view. It seeks to find in each person their creative possibilities and, through the differences in the personal situations of each participant, enrich the group and advance in an individualised training project.
Through art, and thanks to the work of a diverse group of volunteers, it aims to analyse in depth the personal transformation while at the same time develop a strong function in supporting the most disadvantages. Similarly, it cooperates in disseminating the artistic work through organising exhibitions of the work carried out, murals, etc. in art galleries or culture centres.

Errealkubo
We usually throw away a large quantity of elements that seem old, thinking that no further use can be made of them. In Errealkubo, however, they have chosen to make use of these articles which, by applying a dose of creativity, return them to life. Creativity, decoration and recovery are the characteristic features.
Those responsible, professionals in the fields of education and decoration, transform and recover objects that otherwise would have become rubbish. In this workshop, they recycle diverse materials to create new decorative, functional or artistic elements with the aim of transmitting, through their educational activities and workshops, the message that recycling is a sustainable way of working creativity and especially of having a good time.
A group of educational artists, furthermore, carry out different projects framed in the area of artistic education whose common basis is the development of creativity, recycling and education in values in favour of the environment.

CD´s are back in fashion
Technology advances in gigantic steps and the music market is no exception to this progress. Up to a short time ago it was usual to have a large number of compact discs in each home where we stored the work of those musicians and singers that we liked most, but today, however, digital formats have basically excluded this article.
In the next video we present different creative ideas to give a new use to the discs that have become old. Frames for photographs or for mirrors, broaches, accessories for garments, varied decorative elements or even clocks can give these objects, that we have become attached to, a second life

Igela Manuela
The Igela Manuela Cultural Association proposes activities that share the common theme of getting closer to art and culture from a perspective of integral development and an active pedagogic approach.
Since 2007, complementary to the school projects in School Agenda 21 or Green Week which are carried out in different centres in Biscay, Igela Manuela conducts art and environment workshops. These seek to make children aware of the problems of the environment, via tools that art offers for knowledge of reality, the development of expression and the creative process. For this, it is proposed to get to know works of artists related to these themes and offer them the opportunity to experiment and create elements and materials in the language of plastics in areas such as recycling, water, ecological footprint, consumption, biodiversity, Land art...
