Project description:

The project focuses on the future of traditional handicraft production, that can no longer be preserved by maintaining traditional morphology or by one-off events, but only by systematic and targeted support of the business environment so that it becomes part of our present material culture again.

Creating a practical online networking of traditional craftsmen with fashion, textile and home accessories producers, designers and tourism professionals is the key to fully integrate traditional crafts into the economy and to save them. The platform strengthen the business skills of selected traditional craftsmen and enable them to establish cooperation with partners in production, design and tourism.

The project cooperates not only with traditional craftsmen and producers, but also with 2 domestic and 1 foreign partner (National Institute of Folk Culture, design Studio Jaroš ČVUT and Hogskulen pro gron utvikling).
