THE EUROPEAN CENTRE FOR HERITAGE CRAFTS AND PROFESSIONS
Born in 1976 on an initiative of the Council of Europe, The European Centre for Heritage Crafts and Professions aims at the preservation, promotion and enhancement of cultural heritage through professional training.
Since the very beginning, its goal was to promote the culture of conservation and restoration, the knowledge of ancient crafts and the preservation of cultural heritage according to the principles of modern International Conservation Charters through training courses with multidisciplinary programs both theoretical and practical.
Since 2008, the Centre has been operating in the eighteenth-century architectural complex of Villa Fabris, in a large park in the historic city centre of Thiene, in the province of Vicenza, and is managed by the Villa Fabris Association, founded by Confartigianato Vicenza, Chamber of Trade Industry and Crafts of Vicenza, Ce.s.ar (Craft Development Center), Municipality of Schio and Municipality of Thiene.
The Centre provides accommodation services, craft and restoration workshops, classrooms, a library, common rooms and exhibition areas. During the courses, the participants can make use of the services with no time restrictions; this also allows them to develop relationships with teachers from all over Europe, both on a professional and on a personal basis.
The European Centre for Heritage Crafts and Professions is an extremely stimulating place not only for discussion on ideas and objects, but also on methodologies and knowledge.
