Holistic Learning
Craft Village encourages Schools, Colleges and Institutions to learn and understand the Crafts of India through diverse programs that range from day-long workshops to week-long programs. These programs are custom designed to suit the needs of different age groups, interests, and professions. These uniquely designed programs add value in terms of knowledge & awareness, present a holistic worldview, deep-dive into the culture, and help the next generation to connect with the timeless traditions. Not only do these programs make them more tactile, but also connect them with humanity and build broader perspectives. The intention behind these programs is to transform an individual into creating a fine balance between tradition and modernity, transitioning from an impulse consumer to a more sustainable approach.
