by the Erasmus+ VET (Vocational Education and Training) programme, seeks to safeguard Europe\u2019s intangible cultural heritage by fostering intergenerational exchanges of craft

these skills are preserved, adapted to modern digital contexts and transmitted sustainably.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The initiative promotes knowledge transfer between master artisans and young apprentices, the digitalisation of traditional techniques, and the integration of sustainable practices and circular economy principles within the craft sector.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hands
