Being entrereneur from the very beginning

Arantza Arruti Leave a comment

Some people have already heard me say that during the past year (2019-2020), yes, the year of the COVID-19 pandemic, life gave me a couple of gifts that I won’t easily forget. One of them was not only meeting but also having fun with the Princess of Girona Foundation (FPdGi) and its great professionals from one of their pedagogical expeditions together with a group of Spanish professors whom today, without a doubt, I consider friends and colleagues for life.

Today’s post has its origin in Valencia, when I met Rafa Flores, then director of the SAFA Professional Schools center in Écija – Peñaflor Foundation (Seville), recognized in 2019 with the School of the Year Award organized by the FPdGi. Do you want to know more? I invite you to continue reading. (more…)

La galga menta

This past weekend (March 5-7, 2021) a special market was held to celebrate the 8th of March (La Bernarda, urban festival). Although my idea was to go on Saturday, it was not possible for me to visit so many E.P. that I knew were getting together at Zawp until Sunday. I think that it is wonderful to surround yourself with people with so much art and, especially, to feel loved by them.

Today, apart from introducing to you a few of them, I’m going to focus a little more on some of them, of which I have not yet spoken to you in detail. Would you like to know about these entrepreneurial women? Go ahead.

Now what? Will you leave me?

I think that I have not talked about situations like the one I am going to present today to you before. In any case, since this is a blog about E.P., innovative and entrepreneurial projects, and giving visibility to all of them, here I am and here is this post.

Today I want to dedicate it to the more than 30 families in Biscay who own venues for events, many of which have teamed up because of the situation they’re living due to the pandemic. Besides, they’re feeling abandoned and ignored by the Administration. Their entrepreneurial businesses are closed, and they don’t have access to any type of support, neither municipal nor from the Basque Government.

Today I ask you to please keep reading. THANK YOU. (more…)

Desafío +

I must admit that feeling loved by Desafío + (Desafío Más or Challenge Plus) has been one of the most “beautiful” moments and one of the things that have given me more on a personal and professional level during this weird and painful year of 2020.

I’m going to tell you why, so, if you want, you only have to keep reading.

When passion becomes art

It was about time, right? That’s what we thought and said as soon as we saw each other. A few days ago, the two of us agreed on the fact that “enough” time had passed since we first met on Instagram many years ago.

The most important thing is that, finally, on the 18th of January 2021 we saw each other and we talked. And, by the way, what a nice and productive time!

She is Yolanda Triguero, or Yoli, because in this case, her name is not that important. If you still don’t know what she does for a living and the works of art she makes, I encourage you to read this post. (more…)
