Project Summary

Context/background of the project. The THEATER – Technics Handicraft Exchange Around the European Regions – project aims at developing and sharing an innovative panel of non-formal training opportunities for youngsters interested in finding in Theatre an attractive “place” for living and working, and acquiring key competences and technical-professional skills, most of all in the field of costumes design and sets constructions.
Some traditional and very knowledge-based professions are at risks of disappearing, especially in those countries where the tradition is deeply embedded in handicraft with a non-codified knowledge transmission.

The partners, all Centres of excellence in the field, intend to make shared efforts for obtaining the abovementioned objectives.
