Following the WCCE Annual Conference – Crafting the Future: ‘Skills for the Next Generation of Craftspeople’, held in Lisbon on June 29th 2022, WCCE offers its members and stakeholders the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding on the topics that were presented there, in the form of two residency opportunities.
These 3 day residencies are aimed at those that are interested in reproducing in their own area of competence, the practices and concepts presented in Lisbon. This full immersion format combines theoretical approaches and local visits to both delve deeper into the topic, and to better understand the characteristics of craftsmanship in that precise place.
WCCE will cover travel and accommodation costs for 10 participants each for the following 2 residencies:
