LECTURERS
Jèss Carol (@jesscarolbr) has been on Instagram since April 2012. Restlessness has turned her into a social media manager. She is a Catalan philologist by training, and a communicator by accident. After writing articles for various media, she presently works in the Gastronomic Forum's communications department, and also collaborates with various organisations.
Marc Güell (@marcguell) has been on Instagram since August 2011. Curious about social networks (basically Twitter and Instagram), he attempts to communicate using an image and a few characters. He is a journalist and, since 2007, has been working in RAC1's editorial department. He also collaborates with organisations in Osona to help them take their first step into the virtual realm of the Internet.

Both are creators and managers of InstaOsona, the Instagram community in the county of Osona which after two years has almost 3,700 followers. Since its creation, the community has organised more than 40 contests within the county.

INTRODUCTION
This course is intended as a guide for learning the various elements needed to pursue a career in the creative field. How to start, maintain and manage a project, a studio, a workshop, a partnership or any other self-management initiative, whether individual or collective, linked to the cultural and creative sectors.
The course takes into account the complexity of realising an idea, and the aspects of management and projection needed to achieve lasting sustainability. This professional sector is basically made up of the self-employed, of small businesses, cooperatives or associations with few staff, who in most cases must cover the various tasks involved.
The course is aimed at people who are, or who might form, part of this scene.
