Actions for the Revitalisation of Greek Handicraft

In November, as part of the Ministry of Culture’s project for Greek Handicraft, a series of targeted actions were carried out in Athens, Ioannina and Karditsa.

Next Com provided comprehensive communication support and organisational coordination, ensuring cohesive visibility and effective implementation of an initiative with strong cultural and developmental impact.

Karditsa | Seminar: “Handicraft as a Driver of Development”

On 12 November, at the University of Thessaly Amphitheatre, a seminar was held focusing on the role of handicraft in strengthening local communities. The Minister of Culture, Lina Mendoni, delivered a keynote speech, while Next Com supported the design, promotion and organisation of the event, which attracted significant participation from institutional, academic and professional stakeholders.

Ioannina | Seminar & Weaving Workshop

On 13 and 14 November in Ioannina, Next Com provided full organisational and communication support for a set of actions highlighting both the timeless value and contemporary dynamism of Greek handicraft.

The programme included a seminar at the Archaeological Museum of Ioannina and a hands-on weaving workshop at the Mekkeio Boarding School, offering experiential training on the loom and active public engagement.

Athens | Ceramics Workshop

On 22 November, a ceramics workshop was held at the University of West Attica, with Next Com contributing to the event’s design and communication. Participants explored traditional and modern ceramic techniques, with a notable emphasis on the use of 3D-scanning technologies to support the creation of a digital repository of folk art.
