WorldSkills

At the previous event, WorldSkills Abu Dhabi 2017, there were competitions in 51 skills areas with roughly 1,300 young people taking part.

Francisco Albert Vidal was charged with creating a skills contest for the youth of Spain and Portugal.

Young participants from Germany, Great Britain, France, Morocco, and Switzerland responded to the invitation, with two contestants making an unannounced journey to Spain at their own cost.
