The European Artistic Crafts Days - Journees Europeennes des Metiers d'Art - take place in numerous European countries for three days (March 31 - April 2). It will be organised around the theme ‘Forging Links’. These links are cultural, social, and economic. The idea is to promote the diversity of crafts and the connections they establish or induce (between generations, disciplines, territories, and professionals) and to focus on the things that create links, unite us, and bring us together. The initiative is widely promoted in France and in the Netherlands You can find a list of the European countries where the European Artistic Crafts Days take place in 2017 on the website of the French organisers [in French with links to other languages]
