E U Erasmus Plus “CRAFTS IN RURAL AREAS”

The CRAFT project connects crafts, culture, sustainability and people. This partnership project runs from Autumn 2023 to Winter 2025. Over 18 months, we focus on:

- Creating a digital archive of traditional crafts, where videos, tutorials and interviews with craftsmen will be available.
- Organizing intensive craft workshops focused on traditional crafts.
- An intercultural craft exchange that will bring together different European cultures and craftsmen.
- Support for craft tourism and the revitalization of local economies through the promotion of traditional crafts.
