Artistic and community-focused workshops have been established across several regions, including Europe and South America.

In Europe, museums in Italy and Spain have introduced specialized programs. The Picenworld Museum in Italy launched ‘A mano libera’, a creative laboratory for children focusing on anatomical drawing, character design, and manga style. In Spain, the Museu del Còmic i la Il·lustració began offering monthly technical workshops for youths and adults, while institutions in Bilbao and Barcelona organized collective drawing activities and mural interventions.

In Argentina, the La Esmeralda neighborhood initiated free weekly workshops covering technical drawing, audiovisual art, and various community projects, alongside musical training provided by the Orquesta-Escuela Chascomús.
