Welcome to Engelvents!

Hi, I'm Alvaro Morcillo Espina from Spain (born in 1979). Engelvents is a project that started with my diverse experiences, from academic life to hands-on work in the Swiss Alps.

My Journey

I have a PhD in Sociology from the University of Granada and a Master's in Social Research Methods from the London School of Economics. Despite a promising academic career, I longed for a life closer to nature. This led me to Switzerland, where I’ve lived and worked in various places, including Scuol, Quinten, and now Engelberg.

Engelvents

From the beginning of this journey in 2021 till November 2024, Engelvents has been located in a charming wooden barn in the middle of the village. That space has hosted unforgettable events and people. From 2025, our workshops and events will take place in diverse locations. Stay tuned on our Instagram to receive the latest updates. 

Community Support

Engelvents thrives thanks to the support of many local creatives and friends. People like Markus LHoste, Matthias Maeder, Claudia Vogel, and others have contributed significantly. We’re also collaborating with the Engelberg Concerts Association to organize music events.

Sustainability and Education

Engelvents focuses on sustainability, reusing materials, and fostering creativity. Our workshops use natural elements and traditional techniques to help participants discover the joy of creating with their hands.

Looking Ahead

Engelvents welcome any kind of support, sponsorship, or assistance to keep growing and contributing to the Engelberg community.

I’m excited about the future and look forward to hearing your ideas on how Engelvents can make a positive impact.
