WCCE Annual Conference 2024 | State of Crafts: Key Pillars in the Contemporary Craft Sector

WCCE Annual Conference 2024 titled State of Crafts: Key Pillars in the Contemporary Craft Sector,  brought together a network of more than 30 craft organisations from across Europe, as well as a programme of speakers, for a public conference to discuss and debate current issues related to crafts in Europe.

The conference was the third in a series that had been taking place between 2022-2024 under the EU co-funded CRAFTING project. The theme aimed to shed light on overarching key issues within European craft; what could be learnt from crafts to benefit other sectors and broader society; what positive stories could be told to bring craft to a wider audience; while bringing attention to important topics within the crafts space such as sustainability, entrepreneurship, knowledge exchange, heritage, and aesthetics.
