In 2021, WCCE became an official partner of the New European Bauhaus. The New European Bauhaus initiative connects the European Green Deal to our living spaces. It calls on all Europeans to imagine and build together a sustainable and inclusive future that is beautiful for our eyes, minds, and souls. As part of this project WCCE will develop with its network a series of online webinars with key experts that relate to the ambition of the New European Bauhaus. 

The New EU Bauhaus webinars programme will contribute to enhancing the capacities of the craft sector to contribute to building more resilient and sustainable societies and encourage the necessary adaptation of practices in the sector.

The important transformative role the European craft sector plays as a driver of sustainability and circular economy will be considered as award criteria within all selection procedures of CRAFTING THE FUTURE awards, prizes, exhibitions among other activities.

“Crafting the path to a greener Europe” aimed at discovering and debate about the values and principles with what the crafts sector promotes sustainability was scheduled for October 19th, 2022. Watch the seminar here.

Coming soon a webinar on “Digital technologies for the crafts sector” aligned with the Strategy for Europe – Fit for the Digital Age to make digital transformation work for people and businesses while helping to achieve its target of a climate-neutral Europe by 2050 and will contribute to attaining the Digital Education Action Plan. Resetting education and training for the digital age objectives by enhancing digital skills and competences for the digital transformation.
