our aim
Helping artisans
CraftAdapt aims to help artisans by updating Vocational Education and Training (VET), so they can lead the shift toward a more sustainable future. This includes combining traditional skills with new techniques, like upcycling, to create products that support a circular economy. The goal is to open up new opportunities for artisans, especially those facing social or economic barriers to create valuable items and contribute to an eco-friendlier world.
