Crafts are more than heritage — they foster social cohesion, build identity, and create a sense of belonging. They offer meaningful pathways to sustainable employment and empower individuals to build fulfilling careers. Crafts also enhance well-being by connecting people to their creativity and purpose. With sustainability at their core, they preserve cultural heritage, protect the environment through the use of local materials, and prioritise quality over mass production. Crafts are deeply tied to territory, reflecting the unique traditions and landscapes of each community. In a globalising world, they are the essence of cultural diversity, preserving and celebrating distinct identities and richness.

CRAFT COMMUNITY PORTAL's Thematic Pillars
|
To address the wide range of topics and the multifaceted nature of crafts, the Craeft Community Portal is structured around five thematic pillars:
|
|
1. Understanding & Valorisation
|
|
2. Authenticity & Safeguard
|
|
3. Transmission, Training, & Certification
|
|
4. Economics, Innovative & Sustainable Business Models
|
5. Documentation & Archiving
|
|
|
By tackling these challenges and opportunities together, we can help drive innovative solutions that support both product-based and service-oriented craft traditions. Your involvement in our community is key to shaping a future where every craft—whether it’s the creation of handcrafted goods or the restoration of heritage structures—receives the recognition and support it deserves.
