Role of the Artisan
Capacity building
for artisans
Through in-person classes and asynchronous virtual classes, the Capacity Building for Artisans program proposes a change of direction within the already consolidated fashion industry, focusing on longevity, co-creation and responsibility when creating and designing a garment. Throughout the course, emphasis will be placed on some of the fundamental pillars of a business: design, marketing, business model and communication.
We believe that it is essential to provide the necessary knowledge so that those who are part of the Capacity Building for Artisans program can not only improve their skills but also invest in participatory creation and sustainability within a business. At the same time, we know the social and economic effectiveness of working under the principles of fair trade, so within the project we also seek to extend the necessary knowledge so that those who are part of it can think about the future of their work under this business model.
Emphasis will then be placed on the importance of environmental, economic and social care when working with new technologies that can make productivity and design effective within a business.
As we already mentioned, at Hecho por Nosotros and animaná we are committed to promoting and honoring the identity and ancient knowledge of the culture of each artisan, creating a form of learning where the new tools presented allow us to redirect the way of thinking about artisanal work and the industry in general.
