In the framework of the Global Exchange of Crafts Makers, Dialogue Café Association is organising this session with the aim of sharing knowledge and promoting mutual learning on how artisanship can be used to promote forcibly displaced persons social inclusion and the preservation of intangible cultural heritage. With this purpose, two first introductions will be presented on the challenges of forcibly displaced persons social inclusion and how culture and artisanship can be use to promote sustainable and human development. Lately, concrete initiatives being implemented in European countries will share their experiences in order to serve as inspiration for other organisations working with the same purposes. The main goal of the cycle Global Exchange of Crafts Makers is to promote exchanges and dialogue between different crafts makers around the world with the aim, in one hand, of identifying the challenges and opportunities of this promising creative sector in future economies, in the other hand, promoting a dialogue and transmission of know-how between traditional and innovative artisans, between senior and young generations.
