Barcelona es curiosidad

La curiosidad como motor de progreso de la ciudad

Author/s
Alfons Cornella, Carlota Rubio and Violeta Batiste (Translator)
Barcelona es curiosidad portada

Barcelona Means Curiosity stems from the belief that Barcelona has been home to curious people in many disciplines (art, science, music, business, entrepreneurship, education, etc.) over its history and that its people’s curiosity is its driving force. Curiosity is the basic energy that fuels the city. It is this curiosity-piquing environment that is now attracting people from all over the world with a diverse range of skills, who propel the city’s future and progress with their energy. Barcelona Means Curiosity intends to celebrate the richness and freedom of the ideas and initiatives that come about through curiosity and that are created, developed and distributed from the city to the world. It is a celebration of the people of Barcelona’s curiosity, which is making the world a better place.
