The objectives of the project are the following:
- Enhancing the cultural heritage of people and local communities at the level of trades and crafts.
- Promoting the artists and art as a way of valuing vulnerable adults, local culture, and the reuse of products through upcycling.
- Developing innovative educational proposals that promote upcycling.
- Promoting the social, emotional, and mental well-being of people as well as the valorization of culture and their knowledge.
- Sharing different local cultures, in the European context affected by the economic and health crisis.
Activities
