Cyprus Delegation Builds International Craft Ties at Homo Faber Summit in Venice
Officials from Cyprus, including Giorgos G. Papageorgiou and Maria Anaxagora, participated in the inaugural Homo Faber Summit held in Venice from September 16 to 18. Organized by the Michelangelo Foundation for Creativity and Craftsmanship, the event gathered around 150 leaders from the craft, design, architecture, and creative economy sectors.
The summit focused on advancing craftsmanship, fostering collaboration across creative disciplines, and discussing sustainable production models amid growing automation. Participants highlighted the importance of cultural heritage as a foundation for new creative and economic opportunities.
Cyprus’s participation provided a valuable platform to exchange expertise, form international partnerships, and elevate Cypriot artisans and designers on a global scale. This engagement aligns with ongoing efforts by the Cyprus Handicraft Service to expand its network and open up new markets for local creatives.
