HeriCraftMarket
Boosting heritage crafts in the Danube region and beyond. Showcasing good practices. Sharing new knowledge. Connecting organizations and people.
Culture as a local social & economic engine.
Cultural heritage is an important part of local economic development. Supporting culture strengthens local identity and social bonds. It generates jobs, creates more sustainable tourism, fosters creativity and civic participation, and flows economic value into local communities. Local crafts were and still are an elementary part of local culture as well as local economy, and their revival is fundamental to both the local communities and local economies, especially in the rural and semi-rural areas of the Danube region.
What is the HeriCraftMarket?
HeriCraftMarket is an online digital platform developed within the COMMHERITOUR project to promote cultural heritage crafts across the Danube Region and beyond. It connects local and regional actors, such as artisans, cultural organizations, regional development agencies, local action groups, culture- and community-focused NGOs and civil initiatives, and other relevant organizations and people. The platform showcases authentic craft products and their valorisation, while also sharing know-how, training materials, and success stories. The platform is supporting the development of local heritage, sustainable tourism, creativity, and community-based economic growth.
