e-CRAFTS Project: what is it about?
The e-CRAFTS project responds to the need to reduce the social and economic exclusion of women in vulnerable situations through training in digital skills and entrepreneurship in the craft sector. Despite the growth of digital commerce, many women with craft skills face significant barriers to entering the market due to a lack of training in digital tools, the absence of structured support and economic difficulties in marketing their products.
On these basis, E-CRAFTS aims to empower women at risk of exclusion through training in digital entrepreneurship and e-commerce. The project seeks to improve their digital literacy skills, enhance employment opportunities, and strengthen support networks. Additionally, it promotes social inclusion and the sustainability of the artisanal sector through accessible digital tools.
Project results:
The e-CRAFTS project is going to produce a wide variety of results stemming from 5 Work Packages, expected to create medium and long-term impacts in ADU and aimed at Fostering local craft and e-commerce for women at risk of social exclusion:
- WP1: Project Management
- WP2: MOOC and training environment
- WP3: e-CRAFTS platform
- WP4: National workshops and testing phase
- WP5: Dissemination, outreach, impact, and sustainability
A MOOC and a digital platform will be developed for training in entrepreneurship and e-commerce. In-person workshops will be conducted in each country, along with multiplier events and mentoring sessions. Innovative methodologies, such as project-based learning and self-assessments, will be used. Additionally, support networks will be established with local and European entities to ensure the project’s sustainability.
