WHO WE ARE
Hi, I'm Roberta. Thank you so much for visiting us!
As the mom of Arthur and Emila, I'm always on the lookout for activities to enjoy as a family. I soon discovered that there were plenty of options around me, but finding them wasn’t always easy.
That’s how the desire to share these discoveries with more families was born. Together with Régine, we created a WhatsApp group where we send a weekly selection of activities happening in Maresme and Badalona (we're already 800 families!).
The next step was to launch this website and nurture this project with lots of enthusiasm. Somehow Avui feels like my third child. It’s still a baby, but it’s growing steadily!
Hello! I’m Régine, an English teacher and mother of two kids.
I’ve been living in Maresme since 2016, and I really enjoy the wide variety of cultural activities available. However, I’ve sometimes felt frustrated when finding out about them too late and missing out!
I’m very proud to be part of this project, knowing that we’re building a community and helping other families like mine spend quality time together.
Avui is also possible thanks to volunteers who lend a hand in many ways (like reviewing texts in Catalan and English). To all of them, a heartfelt THANK YOU!
WHAT DRIVES US
As parents, we all know that every free moment with our children is precious: it’s when we connect, share experiences, and discover the world together.
The best way to spend that time might be simply playing at home or relaxing together on the beach. But it can also be through arts, sports, workshops, excursions, storytelling, local festivals, meet-ups with others... and much more.
Avui exists to help families make the most of their time with their children, easily finding activities that enrich their lives, foster connection, and create lasting memories.
Avui also exists to give visibility to local family-friendly events and services, as a way to honor the effort that goes into planning, organizing, and offering them.
We do this by selecting and sharing nearby activities, supporting family-oriented businesses, and promoting a sense of belonging through shared experiences.
Above all, we want to help families live in the present — Avui! — with joy and connection.
