Objective

A consequence of social change is the desire to design one's own living environment in an individual manner and to be able to acquire quality furnishings and fittings. This opens up new professional opportunities for companies working in the designer crafts and trades sector. The aim of this project is to teach design skills to young craft-workers after completion of their initial training as well as to the proprietors of SMEs in the sector. The project is directed at around 40 different craft trades which have, in the past, very much neglected this area in their initial and continuing training programmes. In nearly all the countries of Europe there is a lack of specific facilities and measures for CVT in this occupational area.

Following a needs analysis, it is planned to develop an outline curriculum comprising approximately 1000 teaching hours as well as an appropriately co-ordinated set of examination regulations on the basis of which design skills can be furthered and certificated. The project plans to draw up an instructor manual, teaching and class materials as well as participant-related project documentation for a total of 8 to 10 modules. The modules are to be tested and evaluated by means of joint workshops. Additional exchange schemes under the Leonardo programme are also planned for this stage of the work. Both an intermediate and final examination are envisaged for the participants during the course of the project.

Impact
This project will serve to promote craft trade professions at European level by enhancing the design component of the crafts sector.
