Mar Mikhael is a neighborhood that is changing. While its inhabitants continue to enjoy its traditional characteristics, young artists, craftsmen and designers have located their trades in former garages. Though this has contributed to Mar Mikhael\u2019s appeal, it has also attracted real estate development and nightlife, putting Mar Mikhael\u2019s atmosphere under threat.<\/p>\n
GAIA-Heritage is hosting a week-long event of activities In Mar Mikhael within the EU-funded project MEDNETA that aims at reinforcing creativity (arts, crafts and design) and enhancing their role in the regeneration of neighborhoods. The event includes three separate yet joint activities.<\/p>\n
Toolbox is a series of workshops for artists, craftsmen and designers. It will expose creatives to new technologies and innovative techniques; provide them with the needed business, entrepreneurial, and marketing skills; and facilitate collaboration and co-creation between artists, craftsmen and designers.<\/p>\n
After the first two days of training, artists, craftsmen and designers will spend a day collaborating to create products and their respective business plans that will be presented to a jury.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
