Future-proofing VET
in Arts & Crafts
Crafting the Future’ is an Observatory designed to provide detailed information, tools and knowledge for Vocational Education Training centres, craftsmen, Chambers of Commerce, political entities, learners and teachers, researchers, and anyone looking for excellence in the field of Arts and Crafts.
Crafting the Future showcases results, initiatives, experiments and discussions regarding the wide world of craftsmanship.
Three special tools have been developed: the Journal, the Business Hub and the Training modules. These tools are the core pillars of the MOSAIC project in support of the Arts and Craft Sector; research, learning and employment pathways.
The ‘Crafting the Future’ resources are thanks to the MOSAIC project, running until 2026, and are designed to be accessible and applicable at European level.
You can find out more about the MOSAIC project, and its results, under the MOSAIC Project section of this observatory.
