Safeguarding and Enhancing Traditional Knowledge
IEI participates in the Arti & Mestieri Project, an initiative dedicated to the protection and promotion of artisanal skills and traditional crafts.
The project aims to preserve the cultural identity embedded in manual work and to strengthen the social and economic value of craftsmanship as a key component of local development.
At its core, the project focuses on:
The value of manual work, recognizing craftsmanship as a pillar of cultural and economic heritage
Intangible cultural heritage, safeguarding traditional knowledge, techniques, and local identities
Intergenerational exchange and skills transmission, ensuring that expertise is passed on to younger generations
Through this initiative, IEI contributes to fostering cultural continuity, social inclusion, and sustainable development rooted in tradition and innovation.
