CARPENTRY SKILLS
This project supports young people from the Eastern Planning Region, where forestry and carpentry were once among the main economic activities. The project focuses on economic empowerment through the revitalisation of traditional carpentry skills and the promotion of environmentally sustainable practices that contribute to the development of the wider ecosystem, while also involving municipalities in defining local development goals.
Through workshops, mentoring and presentations, the initiative helps 25 participants from Pehčevo and Berovo acquire skills in sustainable production within the carpentry sector, as well as marketing skills and knowledge that contribute to their economic empowerment.
By encouraging the reuse of recycled materials and waste reduction, the initiative also promotes further education and skills development, with a particular focus on the circular economy. In this context, design and aesthetics play a key role in the production of diverse, high-quality products made from recycled materials.
The project aims to build a strong network of women and men craftspeople who contribute to a greener and more inclusive society.
The project is implemented by MRK Dialot and the Nature Expedition Centre for Research on Nature and Culture, with the support of the Embassy of Slovenia and the Slovenian Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs.
