Digital Wood Artisan is an Erasmus+ project that aims to disseminate good practices at European level through the training of trainers that can provide innovative skills about the wood sector, to disadvantaged learners with innovative, effective and consolidated methodologies.
The main objectives of the project are to:

– Encouraging labor market participation, skills acquisition and poverty reduction;
– Provide young with the necessary tools so that they can anticipate the entry into the labor market and fill the gap between supply and demand for jobs in the digital craftsmanship sector;
– Promote among the disadvantaged people innovative work practices, learning and discussion;
