ABA Create
ABA Create is a project designed for students from Italian and international upper secondary schools. It was created with the aim of offering a first introduction to the world of creative professions, allowing young people to directly experience artistic and design activities. Students will have the opportunity to challenge themselves by developing a small project and will actively participate in all stages of the creative process, gaining hands-on, practical experience. ABA Create activities can also be considered valid for FSL purposes, providing a recognized and engaging educational pathway.
The program is structured through intensive thematic workshops, designed to offer a practical and immersive experience in the world of creative professions. The course lasts 5 consecutive days, with classes from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, for a total of 25 hours per week. Students can choose from different thematic workshops, where theoretical lessons alternate with hands-on activities, allowing them to concretely experience the creative and design process.
The available thematic areas include: graphic design, product design, interior design, visual arts, and artistic tattooing. During the program, participants will develop a small creative project, guided by instructors and supported by facilities and laboratories.
Create your space / 15–19.06.2026
Starting from the plan of an empty space and guided by the instructor’s input, the student will learn how to approach the design and organization of an interior, making it functional, comfortable, and aesthetically suited to their needs. They will select materials, finishes, lighting, and colors with full freedom of expression, allowing their creativity to emerge.
Create your tattoo / 15–19.06.2026
An introduction to the world of tattooing and the profession of the tattoo artist, characterized by creativity, technical skill, and attention to the individual. Guided by a tattoo instructor, the student will experiment with different artistic styles to identify the one that best reflects their expressive sensibility, creating a tattoo through all its stages: from freehand drawing to stencil preparation, and finally its application on synthetic skin.
Create your brand identity / 15–19.06.2026
The activity will stimulate students’ imagination and interest by involving them in the collective design of an identity dedicated to a specific subject. The entire process, guided and supported by the instructor, will lead the group through all the fundamental stages of the project: preliminary research, concept development, and the definition of a visual identity.
Create your comic art / 22–26.06.2026
The course will focus on the language of comics, both in its theoretical aspects and in the practical creation of comic pages. The theoretical part will explore storytelling through juxtaposed images and the various techniques that allow for its control. The practical component will include both the creation of a layout (a multi-page comic draft) and the development of one or more complete black-and-white pages.
Create your micro product / 22–26.06.2026
Together with the instructor, each student will create a small pocket-sized product that tells something about who they are or can become a special gift. Through a combination of group work—focused on defining form, materials, and concept—and individual work—aimed at personalizing and making the object unique—each participant will bring to life a tangible expression of their creativity.
Through the ABA Create workshops, students will have the opportunity to develop key skills for the creative and professional world, working within a design-oriented and collaborative environment.
