The European Commission has launched a call for proposals targeting artisans across the EU, seeking to empower those specializing in traditional handicrafts. With a firm closing deadline of September 30, 2025, this initiative offers both financial aid and technical assistance to consortiums of diverse entities from EU member states. The program focuses on skill preservation and boosting local economies by encouraging eco-friendly and digital transitions in the tourism sector. This effort is vital as it aims to preserve cultural heritage while stimulating economic growth and attracting younger generations to the craft industry.
