Description

Description (EN): To develop creative arenas for living handicraft traditions so that past knowledge re-enters communities and helps individuals in communities build identity and prosperity.

Achievements (EN):

Much of what we made in earlier times is of better quality than today’s designs. Among the wide audiences, interest in traditional handicraft is alive and growing. In order to allow previous knowledge to find its way into society once again we therefore need creative meeting places. The project Crossover Crafts has arranged and created numerous creative venues for traditional live handicrafts - from textiles to building technology. The project has recreated, maintained, communicated and documented traditional craftsmanship. Is has worked towards a broad audience, and let museums and historical cultural festivals serve as a centre for the development of traditional methods and techniques.

Expected Results (EN):

• Identification of craftsmen and formation of craft networks in the museum regions. • Exchange and development of practice-led knowledge and skills through active cooperation and demonstration at museums and museum-associated cultural festivals. • Increased understanding of best methods for teaching and learning tacit and practice-led skills. • Increased business/entrepreneurial skills of craftspeople to build individual prosperity and ensure the future for practice-led knowledge and traditions. • Communication of importance and relevance of traditional knowledge and methods in present and future society to the general public. • Promotion of northern identity through development of contemporary designs based on past traditions. • Using IT as a method for preservation and transfer of traditional crafts in museum arenas.• Identification of craftsmen and formation of craft networks in the museum regions. • Exchange and development of practice-led knowledge and skills through active cooperation and demonstration at museums and museum-associated cultural festivals. • Increased understanding of best methods for teaching and learning tacit and practice-led skills. • Increased business/entrepreneurial skills of craftspeople to build individual prosperity and ensure the future for practice-led knowledge and traditions. • Communication of importance and relevance of traditional knowledge and methods in present and future society to the general public. • Promotion of northern identity through development of contemporary designs based on past traditions. • Using IT as a method for preservation and transfer of traditional crafts in museum arenas.
