TRADITIONAL ARTS AND CRAFTS OF PENAFIEL
The Municipality of Penafiel was one of the nine selected from sixty-seven candidates for the 3rd edition of the EDP’s Program Traditions, with the project “Traditional Arts and Crafts of Penafiel”.
The Program Traditions is an initiative to finance projects that aim to value local cultures and traditions, encouraging the self-esteem of communities, ensuring the appreciation of the arts and the popular knowledge by the new generations, more specifically in the municipalities that correspond to the areas in which the six EDP Production centers operate.
The project “Traditional Arts and Crafts of Penafiel” arises from the urgent need to register, disseminate and promote the continuity of the intangible heritage linked to the traditional arts and crafts of the county, currently at risk of getting lost through the artisans aging in active, and for the lack of encouragement in the formation of new productive agents, to whom is intended to transmit the old knowledge and the “know-how” associated to it, combining tradition and modernity.
The project was structured in three fundamental and complementary aspects. In a first fundamental phase, the inventory and registration of the artisans in active – their memories, techniques, products and workspaces.
In a second phase, the aim was essentially to promote the transmission of knowledge by conducting intergenerational workshops, with the purpose of pass on the knowledge and “know-how” of these artisans and their techniques to the younger.
It was sought to enhance the development of traditional technology learning while stimulating creativity, so that from the old techniques could arise new products, and contribute to the training of new economic agents aiming the sustained continuity of these traditional arts and crafts.
The target audiences of the two training courses were the Penafiel’s High School students and the finalists of Higher Education in arts, design and architecture, as well as visual artists.
In a third phase, the project also aimed the dissemination and promotion of traditional arts and crafts through the construction of this digital platform.
