Project Results
EcoCraft aims to support the ecological transformation of the craft and design sector by creating practice-based, open-access educational resources.
All results have been developed to respond to the real needs of professionals and trainers working in design and craft-based VET. They are designed to be flexible, accessible, and directly applicable to different learning environments, including formal, non-formal, and community-based contexts.
The outputs were co-developed by a transnational partnership and reflect a shared commitment to promoting more circular, conscious, and sustainable creative practices across Europe.
