Assistance was provided in 148 cases. The project was intended to integrate local cultures and resources effectively, establish the productivity of local cultural economy, create seeds of craft for the development of local culture and industries, achieve local participation in community empowerment, and make crafts and design the driving force behind the cultural innovation of Taiwan and creation of local employment opportunities. For the Community Craft Cultivating and Development Plan promoted by the Institute, series of literature reviews and interviews were conducted to reach the following conclusions: (1) The Community Craft Cultivating and Development Plan consisted of purposes in three aspects, craft learning, community empowerment and development crafts industry; (2) the Community Craft Cultivating and Development Plan did help increase the number of people starting to like and enjoy making crafts. However, craft artists had the concern that no one will pick up their crafting skills despite the increase in the number of those who experienced the art of crafts; (3) for community empowerment, craft artists need to be developed or community empowerment workers to be introduced after the Community Craft Cultivating and Development Plan; and (4) it is recommended to separate micro-businesses from craft learning programs that focus on community empowerment. |
