Rodrigo Carrasco, director of Corfo Los Lagos, stated that “we are convinced that we are going to contribute to the creative development of our region, with the economies of the future, the orange economy. At Corfo we believe in what we are doing and with this type of instance, in the training of people. Congratulations on the work and encouragement in what comes. “
For Manuel Perrot, manager of the Lago Llanquihue Creative Destination Integrated Territorial Program, this space was “a tremendous source of inspiration in what we have called“ creative collective intelligence ”of the school, where we have found beautiful stories worthy of being shared, so that more people can be nurtured by this positive energy. There were class sessions in which this collective intelligence manifested itself so harmoniously that it seemed to belong to a thinking organism by itself, and that is where we realize that we find a diamond in the rough, one that we must polish over time to get to shine its purest beauty. “
In an emotional closing session, the participants shared their opinion on the beautiful formative process they experienced in the Llanquihue Lake Basin:
“The school opened many doors and I am convinced that we can complement each other well among all the entrepreneurs and put together a single package to offer visitors this tremendous variety of products, experiences, culture and heritage.” Harriet Eeles, Frutillar Musical Weeks.
