Threads of Heritage: The Timeless Art of Armenian Embroidery
During the centuries of crossing needle and thread, mumbling melodies created in the highlands, Armenian women kept alive and taught their children the magic of needlework.
The MOSAIC project will focus on three areas within Arts & Crafts sector: Traditional & rare crafts, Precious metals & jewellery, Furniture & Wood and their relation with Design, Arts & Industry. The platform of transnational cooperation that will be set up within this coves project will bring together relevant EU and non-EU partners who want to foster Excellence in VET within the Arts & Crafts sector, ensuring high quality skills that lead to quality employment and career-long opportunities, which meet the needs of an innovative, inclusive and sustainable economy. The platform will also make it possible to break down the barriers and bring together certain universes, which still too often function in silo.
The specific objectives of the project are:
To increase and improve collaboration between companies and VET centres, to reach a state of mutual fertilisation
To improve VET provision by delivering new training modules
To foster Internationalisation and transnational strategies in response to the evolutions of VET and society
To provide forward-looking VET through the use of digital methodologies and tools
Join the MOSAIC Ambassadors’ Network and help us shape excellence in the Arts and Crafts sector. Participate in events and study tours, share valuable feedback to help us develop relevant and robust learning pathways and tools to support the sector.
