Reviving Traditional Building Crafts for a Sustainable Future
Erasmus project- founded by the European commission
MINDCRAFTS is a project that employs non-formal learning to engage young people (aged 15-25) in traditional building crafts and built heritage.
The project aims to raise awareness, foster dialogue, and spark interest in traditional craft-building professions, highlighting their cultural significance, relevance in today’s world, and potential as rewarding career paths.
By linking traditional crafts to local culture, sustainability, and inclusive society-building, MINDCRAFTS encourages youth to view these professions as essential and desirable.
