Barcelona: Beyond the hype: real AI use cases from the people doing the work
**‼️IMPORTANT! Please register on [Luma Page](https://luma.com/1gb0mkfm) ‼️**
*Everyone is talking about AI. Few are sharing what actually happens after the headlines.*
*What does AI look like when it moves beyond the hype, LinkedIn hot takes, and “10 prompts that will change your life” energy? How are people really using it inside startups, businesses, education, community building, and product development?*
Join us for an evening of practical insights from founders, builders, educators, and innovators who use AI in real projects — not just talk about it.
Hosted by Projector Global Community by [@prjctr_institute](https://prjctr.com/en), in collaboration with[ Xolo ](https://www.xolo.io/es-en/home?ref=OLENAPRJCTR?utm_source=olena&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=prjctr_spain&utm_content=socials)and [ESEI business school ](https://www.eseibusinessschool.com/)Barcelona, this event is designed for people who want to understand where AI creates real value today: what works, what doesn’t, what’s still messy, and how AI is changing the way we build, collaborate, learn, and grow.
**Together, we’ll unpack:**
→ How AI is being used in real projects across different industries
→ What happens after the first excitement and experimentation stage
→ Where AI creates actual business, product, educational, and community value
→ What founders, educators, and builders are learning from using AI in practice
→ What still doesn’t work as smoothly as everyone pretends
→ How to think about AI not as a trend, but as a working tool
And yes, we’ll also have an interactive panel discussion where speakers will share their honest takes, real examples, and lessons learned from working with AI in different contexts. Practical. Human. No “AI will replace us all by Monday” drama.
**Speakers:**
→ [Arie Elbelman](https://www.linkedin.com/in/arieelbelman/?locale=en&utm_source=luma) — Community Builder, Educator & Facilitator
→ [Paolo Giordano](https://www.linkedin.com/in/paologiordano1/?utm_source=luma) — CEO at FlyKube
→ [Oleksiy Denysyuk](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alekseydenysyuk/?utm_source=luma) — Startup Mentor & Adviser
**For whom:**
→ Entrepreneurs and founders exploring AI for business growth
→ Professionals who want to use AI more strategically at work
→ Students and early-career specialists curious about real AI applications
→ Educators, community builders, and creators experimenting with AI
→ Product people, marketers, operators, and builders looking for practical use cases
→ Anyone who wants to understand AI beyond the hype and use it with more clarity

Taller de escritura creativa. Martes
¡Bienvenido a nuestro **taller de relato corto** de los martes!
No importa si tienes experiencia o si acabas de empezar. Todo lo que necesitas es algo para escribir y ganas de pasar un rato agradable compartiendo tu pasión por la escritura.
El moderador plantea una consigna y da entre 20 y 30 minutos con el objetivo de que estructures un relato (poema, reflexión, ensayo...). Después cada participante lee su texto en voz alta y lo comentamos entre todos.
Una manera divertida de mantener en forma el «músculo» creativo y de encontrar tu propia voz literaria, mientras aprendemos unos de otros.
Taquilla inversa, según satisfacción. Los beneficios son para ayudar al mantenimiento de la asociación.
Vamos a comentar nuestros relatos/cuentos
Os propongo una actividad basada en comentar relatos/cuentos que hemos escrito en casa con tiempo y calma.
Para el domingo 05 de julio vamos a escribir sobre la extraña consigna "¡Comprobémoslo!". Escribe con total libertad usando tu creatividad.
Relata, canta, declama lo que te surja del alma. Eso sí con un máximo de **dos páginas** (Arial, 12 pt y 1,15 espacio ).
Nos encontraremos en la cafetería viena las 11.30h.
Aportación voluntaria al finalizar el encuentro.
Summer Writers' Retreat by Girls Who Write
**✍🏻 Run away with the Girls Who Write club this summer and make time for your writing – this will be a long weekend to remember!**
Barcelona in the summer is the vibe...however, it gets really touristy, hectic and sticky...Imagine getting away from it all to a beautiful secret mansion to focus on your writing, while everything else is being taken care of! A long weekend to slow down, put pen to paper whenever you want, read by the pool – and meet like-minded women who love writing as much as you do. **Whether you're visiting or a local, this is the creative escape you need this summer.**
🏡 We are gathering in a perfect secret spot in Barcelona: far away from all the noise, but close enough to the center in case you want to get in and out on your own. Our beautiful hillside mansion features AC, pool and sauna – and nine individual rooms perfect for resting. You'll feel like you're away in nature...while being two metro stops away from all the buzz :) Here, nothing will distract you from writing!
**📚 What you'll be working on?**
Whether you're exploring self-discovery through journaling, crafting a memoir, creating short stories or poetry, or finally bringing that long-planned book to life, I aim to offer you a safe, nurturing space to connect with your words and creativity.
Dive into cherished childhood memories, share fascinating anecdotes from your life that could inspire a captivating story, or pour your deepest emotions onto the page and witness how your perspective transforms. I believe every woman is a natural-born storyteller, and every girl's life is a compelling book waiting to be written. **Let’s uncover yours!**
*What to expect:*
📝 **Journaling Workshops**: Dive deep into your emotions, memories and experiences through guided journaling sessions, unlocking the power of self-expression and introspection under the guidance of Marusha, founder of [Girls Who Write](http://www.girlswhowrite.club/), [Naked Words](https://mashamozolevskaya.com/mynakedwords) and Barcelona Journaling Festival.
📚 **Writing buffet:** try creating a memoir, a profound dialogue, a book character based on a person dear to your heart *(even if you don't have any book in the works yet!)* and explore some controversial topics in a safe, supportive community.
🌅 Sunrise SUP at Barceloneta. The most magical thing you can do in the summer in Barcelona – watch the sun rising from the horizon and waking up the city, while gently rocking on the waves. It's safe and fun! You don't even need to know how to swim. Bring your journal if you dare :)
✨ **Deep Connection to Self**: Throughout the day, immerse yourself in moments of stillness and self-discovery, cultivating a profound connection to your innermost being and fostering a sense of inner peace and alignment. We'll enjoy guided forest-bathing (sinrin-yoku) and embodiment sessions as well.
🍤 **Amazing food!** We'll be served lovely meals cooked by our private chef. The menu is Mediterranean, organic, and absolutely scrumptious! We'll take good care of you...while you write :)
**Please read the full retreat description [here.](https://girlswhowrite.club/barcelona)**

**🧑🏼💻 About the organizer**: Hi! I'm Marusha Mozolevskaya, a non-fiction writer and expressive writing / journaling coach. I'm also a founder of the [Girls Who Write](https://girlswhowrite.club/) & [Barcelona International Journaling Festival](https://mashamozolevskaya.com/barcelonajournalingfestival). I'll be thrilled to have you writing with me this summer!

Shut Up & Write!® East Side Columbus
Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 7:00pm on Wednesday, February 11 at Streetlight Guild.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
**SCHEDULE:**
6:45ish - Quick introductions
7:00 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour
8:00 - The End
**OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING** happens before and after the writing hour. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
**BEING LATE IS OKAY:** just show up and get settled! If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing & I look forward to seeing you at Streetlight Guild!
**WHAT SHOULD I BRING?**
Whatever you need to be able to write! You're welcome to bring earplugs/headphones if noise will bother you!
**OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:**
* **RSVP:** Please RSVP by 6:00pm the evening of the meeting. This helps me know how many to expect, and if we'll need additional space!
* **COVID:** While masks are not required, please be mindful of the other writers around you and their comfort levels.
* **WIFI/OUTLETS:** Outlets are limited, so please ensure your devices are charged when you come! But Streetlight Guild does have free WiFi! Yay!

Shut Up & Write! Kingsdale Shopping Center
Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington.
The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo.
Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine.
We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you.
The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly.
Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome.
The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit.
Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times.
Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have.
Happy writing!
Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for July is "Shoes"
Speak Easy: true stories, told live.
The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast.
Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect.
The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
Pop-up Book Club 5: Rabbit, Run by John Updike
Let’s meet and discuss John Updike's Rabbit, Run, the first in his series of four novels following the life, hopes, and disappointments of former local basketball star, Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, as he fitfully confronts and evades adulthood.
