“Craftwork 4.0 All" Platform will be one of international and intercultural co-creation, established among 12 organizations from 12 different countries (Italy, Sweden, Bulgaria, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Slovenia, Serbia, Ireland, France, Croatia and Slovakia), and aiming at supporting the new and emerging craft artists and craft practitioners to cooperate, co-create, upskill, reskill, and promote their work nationally and internationally.
The Platform is envisioned to comprehensively encompass all facets of contemporary craft, with a central objective of uniting organizations facing common challenges throughout Europe. The overarching goal is to facilitate collaborative efforts in co-creation and co-participatory methods, thereby rejuvenating craft practice, culture and history, but also craft future through the use of new technologies. Additionally, the Platform seeks to create awareness and foster collaboration with socially excluded communities, target groups and relevant institutions, in order to facilitate a broader understanding and appreciation of emerging craft makers’ and practitioners’ needs, while bridging gaps in representation.
