With pride and enthusiasm, the Canton of Neuchâtel is participating for the first time in the European Days of Crafts . With pride, because this event allows it to highlight its craftsmen of today and its professional schools responsible for training the craftsmen of tomorrow. Too often working in the shadows, their gestures of tradition, creation and innovation contribute in an essential way to the economic and cultural attractiveness of the canton.

He then participates with enthusiasm, because these Days are a unique opportunity to meet these passionate women and men. From April 22 to 24, you will be able to push open the doors of their workshop and enter the very heart of the place that serves as a showcase for their exceptional know-how.

Whether they work with leather, metal, textiles, stone, clay or wood, they participate every day in the transmission of centuries-old gestures.

I invite you to discover the fascinating universe of these artisans of today and tomorrow!
