Guidebook
This guidebook is designed to inspire young people to explore the opportunities offered by traditional building crafts.
By showcasing professions rooted in cultural and architectural heritage, it demonstrates their historical significance and their role in shaping a sustainable future.
The MIND CRAFTS modules are based on research into each craft, incorporating interviews with artisans and stakeholders to document their knowledge, techniques, and experiences. Videos within the modules serve as a visual narrative, capturing the craft professionals in action, showcasing work in progress, the materials used, and the stories behind each practice.
By offering a comparative perspective on Italian and Belgian craft techniques, the modules highlight both cultural diversity and shared European values, fostering a deeper appreciation of traditional skills.
To ensure broad accessibility, all modules are available in French, Italian, and English.
6 modules to learn traditional building professions
The craft sector is vast, so this project highlights six key professions essential to building crafts: mosaics, wood, stone, clay, metal, and ornaments.
These crafts were selected for their enduring contribution to cultural heritage and their potential to meet modern sustainability goals.
