This
platform results from the implementation of one of the lines of action of the
Saber Fazer Program, approved by Ministerial Resolution n.º 89/2020, of October
23nd, consisting in a tool that will reflect the work of collecting, organizing,
producing and making knowledge available on craft practices, local agents and
their raw materials, underlining their relevance as tangible and intangible
cultural heritage.
The Saber
Fazer Program contains the national strategy for traditional arts and crafts
for the years 2021 - 2025 and results from the recognition of the importance
that the craft production sector can play in contemporary society, creating
products and services that make sense in our daily lives, with economic
viability, environmental benefits and heritage value.
