The protection of Europe's shared heritage relies upon developing and sharing specialised skills and knowledge in the field of cultural heritage. With this in mind, in April we will be celebrating the European Artistic Crafts Days, JEMA (les Journeés Européennes des Métiers d'Art).

The Europe-wide events aim to support knowledge-sharing in the field of heritage, increasing the value of arts and crafts' know-how. Throughout the month, workshops will open their doors, demonstrations will be held, and training schools will be open. Join in and help keep heritage alive!
