Contribution to wider strategies and policies:
- The CRAFTLAB PLUS project contributes to the EUSAIR PILLAR 4. SUSTAINABLE TOURISM, as the proposal aims to develop new training solutions for enhancing tourist & cultural sectors in the South Adriatic Area.
- The project is in line with the Flagship DES_AIR and CULTOURAIR. Through the development of methodologies, workshops, training and other activities, CRAFTLAB PLUS helps the development of cultural tourism and provides skills to the target groups.
- For the DES_AIR flagship, the project foresees targeted training activities and practical workshops aiming to skill the target group in the artisanship and cultural sector. Through the activities foreseen, the youth & unemployed targets of the project, as well as the stakeholders will increase their competencies in the craft sector. These actions will also impact positively the tourism sector, as the craft sector is strongly linked to it.
- For the CULTOURAIR flagship, CRAFTLAB PLUS will develop a joint methodology analysing the artistic and cultural characteristics of the peripheral areas of IT, AL and MNE. The tasks will produce a compilation of harmonized data, as well as joint solutions under the so-called Community Maps. This tool created will be applicable in the tourism sector of the territories joining the project. This harmonisation will lead to new business opportunities and connections.
- To conclude, the CRAFTLAB PLUS project contributes to the overall goal of achieving sustainable and diversified tourism in the EUSAIR region.
- CRAFTLAB PLUS creates also synergies with the Eruopean Green Deal Strategy. Tourism and culture are part of the European Green Deal, and the innovative solutions can help to relaunch the sector more sustainably. The CRAFTLAB PLUS project contributes to the European Green Deal by supporting the transition of the cultural sector towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly model. The project's joint methodology developed and CBT activities (B2B and seminars) aim to promote innovation in the craft sector, transitioning from old crafts to new models. Some of the topics developed during the activities are technologies, digitalisation, circular economy and the promotion of more balanced use of natural resources.
- Moreover, the project promotes the development of diverse business ideas, fostering synergies between creative and cultural industries, artisans, artists and the local community. By doing so, the project aims to increase the value and preservation of cultural and natural heritage, which is essential for the long-term sustainability of the cultural industry.
- The project's efforts to create a more sustainable and resilient cultural ecosystem align with the European Union's industrial strategy, which prioritizes the green and digital transformation of EU industries to increase their competitiveness and reduce their environmental impact. The co-creation process of transition pathways involving all stakeholders, including the tourism industry, is crucial to achieving the twin transition and accelerating the green and digital transformations in the EU.
- The New European Agenda for Culture 2018, creates a framework for cooperation on culture at the EU level. These focus on the positive contribution that culture brings to Europe’s society, its economy and international relations. The Agenda also sets out enhanced working methods with Member States, civil society organisations and international partners.
- The Agenda divides its impact into three dimensions; social, economic and external dimensions.
- CRAFTLAB PLUS emphasizes the three dimensions of the Agenda 2018, by disseminating the power of culture and cultural diversity while supporting culture-based creativity in education and innovation and strengthening cross-border international cultural relations.
- The project will boost the cooperation between countries and partners from different cultural realities but with common objectives.
- The project is in line with the National Strategy for Sustainable Development of Montenegro by 2030 (NSSD). The National Strategy of Montenegro is an umbrella, horizontal and long-term development strategy that relates not only to the environment and economics but also to human resources and social capital that should ensure prosperous development. It highlights the relevance of contributing to sustainable growth in the economic sectors, including tourism and culture.
- CRAFTLAB PLUS valorises the cultural sector by assuring the skills transferral in the artisan sector, while interchanging good practices and experiences through the project territories, having a subsequent impact on the economic growth of the territories.
- CRAFTLAB PLUS follows also the Albanian National Strategy for Culture 2019-2025, approved in 2020 in line with the UNESCO Convention 2005 as well as with the New European Agenda for Culture 2018.
- The national strategy has as its main mission the creation of a favourable environment for the growth and development of cultural and creative services and products in the public and private sectors. CRAFTLAB PLUS does so by transferring skills to experts and youngsters that will impact the cultural businesses affecting positively the sector. There is an increased emphasis on culture and art while promoting and disseminating the Albanian culture, together with the other territories’ culture and local arts.
- Then, another strong point of the strategy is the necessity of valorising the heritage and the local artists and craft businesses, and this will be the main objective of all the activities taking place locally and cross-border.
- The Strategic Plan for the Tourism Development of the Molise Region (Piano Strategico per lo Sviluppo del Turismo) is part of the synergies with the project. The Plan pursues covering the need of the Molise region, and providing the territories of the region with a strong touristic and cultural strategy aiming to boost both sectors while valorising the roots of the culture.
- CRAFTLAB PLUS develops solutions for these necessities, by providing specific tools for strengthening cultural businesses, attracting tourists and reinforcing the tourism sector.
- CRAFTLAB PLUS is in line with the Apulian Cultural Strategy (PiiilCulturainPugiia – Piano Strategico della Cultura della Regione Puglia 2017-2026), valorising the culture of the territory. Thanks to the project, the Italian artisan heritage (but also the Montenegrin and Albanese) will be enhanced. The project will give visibility to the artisan professions in each of the territories through joint activities.
- The project also contributes to the achievement of the objectives of the Strategic Plan of the Culture of the Puglia Region 2017-2026. The Strategic Plan intends to protect, enhance and promote the identity of a territory, and therefore its culture (cultural heritage, cultural activities and live entertainment, audiovisual, creativity), in an increasingly innovative way, stimulating growth, employment, competitiveness, social and territorial cohesion. CRAFTLAB PLUS is totally in line with the premises of the Strategic Plan for Culture, as highlights the value of the culture of each of the territories forming the partnership on each of the activities foreseen.
- Moreover, the PiiilCulturainPugiia – Strategic Plan of Culture of the Puglia Region 2017-2026 promotes the creation of strong partnerships, aimed at creating quality cultural and tourism products that will make up the offer of the Puglia portfolio becoming a tool for territorial inclusion and cohesion, and sustainable from an environmental, social and economic point of view.
- CRAFTLAB PLUS project is perfectly in line with the European development strategies which identify the cultural sector as a driver for social and economic development, specifically with the NEW EUROPEAN BAUHAUS strategy.
