E-CRAFTS

With pride and satisfaction, the consortium completed the course of workshops held this year in regard to the project E-Crafts (2020-1-PT01-KA227-ADU-094892). Eighteen techniques to test, many artisans to meet, and a lot more of participants to involve along this process of selection and test to find 18 techniques that could combine, for each partner, the cultural and historical relevance with the social and sustainability values that the project aims to implement and disseminate.

To maximise the impact, the 60 participants involved participated to at least 4 workshops of the whole course. This allowed to boost several aspects: confidence with the environment, approach and social dynamics inside the group, knowledge about the topic (upcycling), possible entrepreneurial ideas, and potential network. In particular, the target required by the project include mostly elderly, unemployed adults, NEET, people with migrant background, and in general adults in those social groups with fewer opportunities or no access to certain activities or services.

As regard the testing phase, the results coming from users’ evaluation, direct observation, and interviews, revealed general positive feedback to the point that partners had to rearrange more the one dates in some cases. Next step calls the realization of video tutorials of all the techniques tested, to give the opportunity to everyone can connect to the web of learning these upcycling crafts.
