Join the international Webinar ‘Focus Craftership’ and get to know the new ‘filminglivingheritage.org’ Toolbox and Methodology for filming and documenting craftership, know-how, skills and other living heritage on the 28th of May, 2 p.m. – 4 p.m. CEST. This bilingual – English & Dutch – toolbox springs from 4 years of action research and methodology development on documenting living heritage through audiovisual means. A team of heritage workers, filmmakers, craftspeople and living heritage communities joined forces to create this guide for filming and safeguarding living heritage. 10 pilot projects tested the approach through filming heritage practices in hurdy-gurdy building, wattle and daub, wickerwork, maritime mast building, crop selection, the construction of giants, monastery crafts, Japanese woodcutting, cooperage and taxidermy. For the project ‘Focus Craftership’ a network of heritage organisations in Flanders (Belgium) joined forces between 2021 and 2023: Bokrijk | Craftsmanship & Heritage as initiator, CAG, CEMPER, Histories, PARCUM, ETWIE, FARO and Workshop intangible heritage, with support from the Flemish government.
