<< Background >>Through Curae we would like to develop employability skills by contributing on the maintenance of national vintage crafts. Our idea is to create a European network with partners who are active in their community and activating this network with national crafts organisations by organising events which would motivate youngsters coming from fewer opportunities background to support their countries’ traditional preservation, more specifically, their communities. Youngsters will collaborate with the participating organisations in the development of an employability method by using vintage crafts as a mean for increasing and improving the employability in a way that crafts can be proven to have a place in the modern world and they can contribute to personal and professional development of a group or an organisation. By being exposed to each other's crafting cultures and by learning to include them as European heritages and not only national heritages, the value of active citizenship and of common values can only be one of the core elements being present in every process and stages of the project.<< Objectives >>Curae wants to achieve its objectives by developing and improving crafting skills in youngsters facing employability issues who are mainly situated in the countryside. Curae wants to build a bridge between youngsters and the world of craftsmanship in Europe and to present them the benefits of it, and how it could help their communities develop, also economically. This project would bring different European organisations and communities together of different cultures and showing how it is possible to include crafts with technology while developing they entrepreneurial skills such as presenting themselves, promoting themselves and their heritage.With the learned skills, we expect youngsters to adopt a proactive posture towards employability and also consider investing in their community to support its economy. Action wise, this can happen with youngsters assisting local businesses on performing more effectively (therefore the youngsters could pass their skills onwards) but also with youngsters finding themselves employed in their region so that they can also see that where they live also has opportunities to offer work and cultural wise.<< Implementation >>In order to achieve the needs we plan to address and the project objectives, we are going to implement 4 preparation meetings, 2 trainings, 3 study visits, 12 multiplier events and 1 exchange. All activities are spread equally amongst our partners and were discussed and agreed together while writing the project. Being the applicant organisation of Curae, Cherry International Foundation will remain responsible for the management of the project and will also take care that communication keeps its flow which we believe is crucial when sharing tasks and responsibilities. for each activity, each partner will select the participants that they believe to fit the activity best, respecting the project criteria. The activities are planned in a near way throughout the 36 months duration of the project in order to maintain a flow and establish an active posture from each party involved. Dates of each activity are agreed with the partners and so is the length.<< Results >>Besides the different events which will be organised with crafting organisations, a documentary will be made introducing each craft from each country. Not only, but the documentary will also show how crafts can be applied in team building activities, in this way, viewers can also understand how crafting anddevelopment can be brought together. Beyond the documentary, we are planning to develop a professional photography book, so the story of the crafts and the project can be pictured in a visual way that is not visual.A website will also be created, where the documentary will be displayed and the book can be read. The website will be a platform for small tutorials, but also offering workshops in each partner country. In this way, tourists can experience the typical crafts of that country or area during their trip. The idea is also to link the website to already existing websites regarding the same theme to enhance visibility and strengthen the network amongst countries.In summary, the results are the following:- documentary- photography book- DIY blogBesides the project results, we also expect the youngsters involved in Curae and its activities to find job opportunities in their communities learning to give value to their cultural heritage. But what they can also do, which is expect happening during our project activities, is that they also support local businesses on improving their performance and being able to match with doer society and requirements in order to increase their visibility and raise more interest from people to their crafts.
