European Vocational Skills Week, 2-5 November 2017, as part of the International Cultural Heritage Fair
The Mad’in Europe project "Stories of talents" has been selected to be part of the European Commission’s program "European Vocational Skills Week: Discover your talent". With this campaign, the floor is given to European craft professionals to tell their story, to stimulate curiosity and interest in craft trades, both as a career choice and as a way to consume more responsibly. These "Talent Stories" will be shown in Paris and will remain online for several months.
Among the craftsmen of this first series of portraits, Daniel Formigoni, luthier in Vevey specialized in the making of old musical instruments and more particularly in the making of plucked and bowed string instruments.
