Romanian villagers learn traditional crafts through EU funded courses
In total, 400 people from rural areas in Valcea, Sibiu, Arges and Botosani counties were trained in four traditional crafts: artisan carpentry, wicker braiding, ceramic and glass icon painting. All the attendants also took IT and entrepreneurship classes, aiming to be better equipped to capitalize their skills and better sell their creations, slowly moving from an agriculture-revenues-only fueled lifestyle to other sources of income.
Training was organized by the Dan Voiculescu foundation and co-financed via the European Social Fund, through the Human Resources Development Program.
