How did you learn about Art of Hosting (please add the date and place) and what attracted you to it?

First time I have heard from AOH was during an online training on sustainable design by the GAIA education. That's where I have heard about facilitacion techniques, world café open space etc. Early this year, I have been practicing within others seminar (related to SOL for instance) and participated to an AOH seminar in Compiegne last July. I have received an invitation from Nancy.

Tell us about your experience with Art of Hosting as part of your life and work. What would you say your competence in it is? (new, starting practitioner, experienced practitioner, steward)

I have decided to create a consulting social enterprise focus on sustainability based in Barcelona. We have a deep expertise on sustainability and after ten years in transnational company, I have been realized that facilitation techniques were so far very basic and that's where we would like to learn in order to offer our services. so, considering ourselves as starters in AOH.

What is the primary field/topic/focus in your hosting work?

We would like to use AOH, collective inteligence, fecilitation techniques with a clear purpose on sustainable design for both private and public company. We are very conected to the NGOs sector as well and hope to be part of future AOH initiative here in Spain.
