**Ens trobarem a les onze del matí (11:00 h), a la boca de metro de l’estació BARCELONETA (L-4 groga).** Per tal d’aconseguir que les comunicacions entre nosaltres siguin més àgils, es crearà un grup de WhatsApp exclusivament per a aquesta trobada, que s’obrirà unes hores abans i es tancarà unes hores després de la trobada. Si esteu interessats en ser agregats, si us plau, feu-nos arribar el vostre: 1 - Nom 2 - Cognom 3 - Número de telèfon Mitjançant un missatge privat a l’organitzador. Si falta alguna d’aquestes tres coses o el número de telèfon no té WhatsApp, no et podrem afegir al grup. Totes les persones integrants del grup de WhatsApp disposaran d’ubicació en directe durant el transcurs d’aquest Meetup. Un cop apuntats, si finalment, pel motiu que sigui, no podeu venir, agrairem que us doneu de baixa. Durant el recorregut, no hi ha garanties de que es contestin les trucades, ni tampoc els missatges, estarem massa enfeinats fent fotos. Durant el recorregut, cadascú de nosaltres serà responsable de no perdre el grup, no obstant, si algú es perd, ens podrem retrobar més tard al lloc on haurem quedat prèviament. Al finalitzar, per a la gent que vulgui, hi haurà l’opció d’anar a prendre alguna cosa en alguna terrassa, parlar, veure les fotos que hem fet, etc. QUE FAREM: Abans de res aclarir que això no és una classe, ni un curs, ni tampoc un taller de fotografia. Això és una trobada de gent interessada en la fotografia urbana, de carrer, una trobada de gent interessada en les ciutats, en les persones que hi viuen i en les activitats que s’hi fan. Passejarem pels carrers de la ciutat a la recerca de les coses que ens puguin agradar, interessar, sorprendre, anirem a la recerca de la bellesa. Al mateix temps, la trobada també ens permetrà conèixer gent amb la mateixa afició que nosaltres i podrem intercanviar idees, impressions i coneixements. No cal portar un gran equip, n’hi haurà prou amb una càmera petita que ens permeti passar desapercebuts i no ser gaire invasius. Cadascú podrà fer servir la tècnica fotogràfica que més li convingui en cada moment. Tothom és benvingut, gent de totes les edats, des de principiants fins a experts. És gratuït, només es demana una mica d’entusiasme. Ens ho passarem molt bé! BENVINGUTS!

Step into 2026 with intention, clarity, and a creative practice designed to help you see yourself more clearly. In this special Confidence Lab session, we’ll explore confidence as something you can curate - through the choices you make, the qualities you amplify, and the story you choose to step into. We’ll start with a short guided reflection to surface the traits, habits, and energies you want to nurture in the coming year. Then, using collage materials selected specifically for this workshop, you’ll translate those insights into a visual composition that represents the version of yourself you’re ready to grow toward. This isn’t about resolutions or perfection. It’s about crafting a grounded, imaginative vision of your next chapter - one that feels honest, energizing, and fully yours. All materials are provided. Just bring yourself (and a friend) and a willingness to explore what confidence can look like for you in 2026. **Featured Partner: Columbus Collage Collective** The Columbus Collage Collective was started in August of 2023 by Emily Morgan (aka Lovely But Dead) and Douglas Cuckler (aka Wonder Doug) as a place for collage enthusiasts to gather and create art together. The collective has since become a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with the mission to hold free or low-cost collage events across central Ohio. The CCC welcomes all artists of all backgrounds and skill levels and encourages folks to take this time to step away from everyday existence and create art with people who share a love for this dynamic art form. All materials—magazines, scissors, craft knives, glue, paper, cardboard, and more—are provided, so there's no need to bring anything at all (though you're welcome to bring a friend or a favorite tool if you'd like!). We also encourage folks to take home magazines and materials from our events to support continued creativity!

Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here. Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact. ***Please note:*** *All are welcome!
