CrafDi

Project “Crafting Digitally: Bridging Artisans to Global Market” (No. 2024-2-LV01-KA210-ADU-000293470)

Luznava Manor (Latvia), Helix Social Innovation Hub (Greece, www.helixhub.eu), and the Lifelong Education Science Art Culture Association (LESACA, Turkey,  www.hayatboyuegitim.org) have launched the ERASMUS+ project CrafDi – “Crafting Digitally: Bridging Artisans to the Global Market.”

The project's goal is to enhance the digital skills of rural artisans and develop an online platform to help them enter the global market. By doing so, artisans will be able to reach a wider customer base and improve their economic well-being.

One of CrafDi’s key activities is set to take place in the second half of this year at Luznava Manor, Latvia, where artisans will participate in training sessions designed to provide hands-on examples and practical advice on working with digital platforms.

With three countries and three cultures coming together, the project will also foster the exchange of knowledge and traditional craftsmanship skills among artisans from Latvia, Greece, and Turkey, contributing to the preservation and promotion of cultural heritage.

The project will run until December 31, 2025, and is fully funded by the European Union’s ERASMUS+ program. The total allocated budget for the three partner organizations is €60,000.
