What is Hands On?

A Community Platform

We connect passionate students who want to learn new skills with amazing teachers who love sharing their expertise.

For Students

Discover and book amazing workshops from pottery to chili making, surfing to soap crafting!

For Teachers

Share your passion, earn money, and build a community around what you love most!

Our Story

It all started with two curious friends who couldn't sit still. Diogo and Tom worked together, but their real magic happened after hours - Tom taught Diogo how to make killer chili sauces, and Diogo got Tom hooked on surfing. They thought: "Why is it so hard to find and book all the cool stuff there is to learn?"

Fast forward to today - they're still learning together! From kitesurfing in Costa da Caparica to split-boarding in Bulgarian mountains, raising kids, and somehow building Portugal's biggest creative teacher community along the way.

This doesn't end here - they're on a mission to find all the best teachers and create the ultimate learning playground. Think you've got what it takes?
