Higher Education on Craft Traditions NN/2019

NordPlus HIgher Education 2019 project

The network is innovative because it intends to advance the academic study programmes on traditional crafts in Nordic–Baltic cultural area, and to integrate institutionally and administratively separated researchers and students of traditional craft and craft pedagogy. The aim is to encourage teachers and students to seek innovative approaches to the already established practices, by exchanging knowledge, experiences and visions on how to combine traditional crafts with the contemporary social and cultural environment and labour market. The objective is to develop new methods and put them into practice keeping in mind the needs of the future.
