«Crafting the Future – Skills for the next generation of craftspeople«, hosted by CEARTE at the Museu de Arte Popular in Lisbon on June 29, was one of the side events scheduled for the next WCC Europe GA.
The conference aimed to set up a platform for exchanging relevant inputs on education, life-long learning, training and other aspects related to the transmission of knowledge and skills to younger generations, the sustainability aspects of the processes, and the accreditation systems in different European countries.
