Digitally crafting new communities of practice
Start date: May 1, 2016, End date: Apr 30, 2018 PROJECT  FINISHED 

A network of stakeholders from 3 different local communities of practice (Lave & Wenger, 1991) dedicated to traditional handwork/artisanship (Sweden: weaving; Italy: textile handicraft (including weaving, embroidering, knitting and sewing); Estonia: textile/metal;) will cooperate trans-nationally to create a bridge between traditional (fading/endangered) forms of artisanship and the communicative/digital shift phenomena, focused on using digital technologies to explore: how the tacit knowledge related to the art form can be explored and developed with new audiences; which new conservation and business models can be developed for its “evolution” as cultural phenomenon; how to improve democratic access/education about digital cultural/artistic production/distribution/communication methods to a specific target group, artisans.
