Riba Rocks is a not-for-profit registered association in the heart of Catalunya, Spain. Hosted by a WSA alum, it offers exciting and unique sustainability-focused art projects. Placements encompass illustration, traditional skills workshops, and land art, offering a rich tapestry of learning. Students stay in a remote, off-the-grid location to promote sustainability and foster creativity.
Last year, Riba Rocks hosted a group of 5 WSA students for 32 days. As part of their project, the students produced a large-scale street mural.
Being able to work collaboratively on a creative project has also been incredibly beneficial for me, being able to take a leadership role and work well in a team, has been an amazing opportunity. My favourite things about my time in Spain being was being able to experience such a strong community with rich Catalan culture and growing new friendships.
