Craft Revitalization Action for Future-proofing the Transition to Innovative Technologies for Sustainable Development

CRAFT-IT4SD focuses on how the CCSI can become a driver for the
sustainable climate transition, in particular regarding the highly polluting fashion and textile industry. CRAFT-IT4SD relies on cross-sectoral experimentation in the intersection between craft and living heritage on the one side, and digital technologies on the other, to innovate and develop new sustainable business models. The approach is challenge-driven and involves inclusive partnerships and collaboration between diverse actors, specifically between microplayers, bigger industry and policy makers. The initiative establishes four pilot sites in four European countries for place-based innovation ecosystems, and creates learning communities across these national pilot sites, while replicating its findings in new ecosystems resulting in a growing movement for the green transition.
