The Arts and Crafts are fascinating for the richness of the skills and creativity involved.

Although rarely emphasised, their economic potential is considerable. Given the changes in the global economy, the skills involved in the Arts and Crafts are now sought after

in a very wide range of sectors. In a time when production and sales are becoming increasingly digitalised, the Arts and Crafts are, more than ever, a benefit for the economic and social development of Europe. A new approach is required today in order to achieve a better understanding of the opportunities that the Arts and Crafts represent for other economic sectors and the development of activities for which Europe could become a leader.
