Traditional crafts are an intrinsic part of cultural heritage and many communities, around the globe, are investing time and resources to reinvigorate and preserve their local crafts. Their efforts are being recognized and promoted by UNESCO, a branch of the United Nations, whose mission, among other things, is to honor and promote the world’s “living heritage.”
The UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN) was created in 2004 to promote cooperation with and among cities that have identified creativity as a strategic factor for sustainable urban development. The 350 cities around the world which currently make up this network work together towards a common objective: placing creativity and cultural industries at the heart of their development plans at the local level and cooperating actively at the international level.
