A TOOLKIT FOR YOUNG PEOPLE

VIRTUAL REALITY TOURS

A strong full-immersion experience to discover the atmosphere of a workshop, its tools and sounds.

A large percentage of craftsmen is aging and will be retired within 10 to 20 years.

Most of them do not have any succession plan and their skills may be lost, together with their precious experience in the profession. Craftsmanship professions are covering sectors such as interior design, fashion, cultural heritage preservation, traditional building, and tourism. All these areas are essential to European richness and diversity.

Furthermore, since youngsters agree there is a need to put more sustainability and responsible consumption in our lifestyle, the project’s goal is to demonstrate how craftsmanship can contribute to reach this objective.

The partners’ expertise in both the crafts sector and education will be supported by high level skills in digital technologies to co-produce tools which will highlight the main values represented by craftsmanship: strong knowhow and expertise, entrepreneurship, high quality, long-lasting production, low waste, local sourcing, self-accomplishment, creativity, innovation, and cultural heritage safeguard. They will also highlight the diversity of opportunities offered by the sector.
