Our words exactly…

A new trend study reveals a clear request for interactivity, activation and lots of new knowledge in the market of courses. It criticizes on the other hand the neverending powerpoint presentations which most of all are supposed to brand the introductory speaker.

We have been in Madrid doing research for our next Urban Safari. A very exciting city and full of life. Especially night life.

Madrid is a paradise for nightowls. The city awakens around 10-11 AM. Busy cafes are serving chocolate and churros – a kind of waffle sticks – and they shut down around again from about 14-17 PM (not a day without a siesta..).

But after 17 PM the city awakens again. A lively atmosphere emerges in the shops and streets – everywhere you turn people are eating and drinking.

From around 8 PM the shops shut down and the locals prefer to go to their favorite tapas bar. From around 10 PM it’s time for dinner – and yes, the hottest discos and nightclubs open around 6 AM in the morning…
