WHAT IS 3DRUM

My journey in the 3Drum project dates back a few years, when I started a pre-work skills workshop with a group of young people with functional diversity. Until now, none of them had had opportunities to train in any field after compulsory education, much less for a paid activity.

Let's say that they were part of that group of people whom our educational and labor systems exclude - in reality we could say that society in general - or who, at most, relegate to occupational employment centers, to specific training that have no take into account neither their interests nor their potential talent or, what is worse, to live dependently and on their family, without studying or working, increasing the number of places in day or residential centers.

But I only saw young people with undiscovered potential, eager to do something that really motivated them. And that's how it all began. Exploring their strengths and interests, it was agreed that they were all passionate about art, design, spontaneous creation and... we got to work, working hard, but at the same time having a lot of fun.

They learned to use different graphic design programs, which we combined with manual execution. My role simply consisted of providing the necessary methodological and access adaptations, and motivating them to continue learning. The most important thing of all was getting them to believe in themselves, that they could do important things.

And, after a few years we thought, why not become professional and take the leap into the world of work. We had much more to gain than lose. This is how 3drum was born.

All designs are made by them, they are genuine and totally personal. My role is to stimulate them, guide them and give them technical support when necessary, or adjust the designs to the relevant formats and parameters to be printed and marketed. But the design is theirs, truly original. Each of the components of 3drum has its own personality and all of them are great talents. Their inspiration comes mainly from themselves, and that has great value.

Between them and I we carry out collaborative work where each one contributes what they know best.

The entire group wants to be successful in this exciting adventure that is 3drum, and we would love to grow in the future, incorporating new talents that can only emerge if they are given an opportunity.

 

I am a very nice girl, very square-headed and feisty.

My hobbies are dancing, cycling and making designs with the computer. I started for fun and now it has become a job. I am very happy, although I think I still lack self-confidence. I know that in 3DRUM I am in the best place to grow and empower myself, and continue learning design and creating beautiful and cool things. I like to draw flowers and landscapes, although in 3DRUm I have discovered that I am capable of drawing anything. I have also learned to do many more things such as save documents without them being lost, select colors and number them with the RGB system, etc.

By the way, my favorite color is lilac and the whole range of pinks, like the 3DRUM logo.

I really like doing things with the computer. I can spend hours making montages, PowerPoints, photographs, videos, etc.

They say I'm very good with computers, although I've never been to school.

Now, with the 3DRUM design group I am learning a lot and using different design programs.

I love to draw while listening to music. Drawing I develop my talent. Through my works you can know me better, I speak through them. They say about me that in my drawings I transmit the emotions in the characters I create very well.

I also design very fun animations and make audiovisual montages.

I am a very hardworking and persevering boy, I try not to leave anything unfinished.

A few years ago no one would have thought that they could handle a computer, much less a design program. People tend to think that people who don't speak don't think and don't have the capacity to learn. But it's not like that.

I do learn, and I am showing it. I just need some adjustments and, above all, for you to believe in me.

I love drawing and painting, I am fascinated by circular shapes and lines, with which I create different compositions and textures. I also have a particular taste for colors. My favorite color is dark electric blue, like the blue of the 3DRUM logo.
