Projects
Over the years, we have supported many clients and managed education, research, strategy and design projects in varied creative fields.
A common denominator across all of our projects, is our passion to create value through deep dedication to art, creativity, sustainability and responsible production.
CommunityCloth: building capacity for community educators towards sustainable urban transition
CommunityCloth is an Erasmus Plus project (2024) coordinated by Barbot Bernardo, having Alternative Brain Rules from Cyprus and Smuss Studio from Norway as partners. CommunityCloth created tools to promote new training models and provide knowledge for community creation around farm-to-cloth productions. It created a network of educators as a cost-effective way of scaling knowledge transfer. More about this project

GatewayCrafts
GatewayCrafts is an Erasmus Plus which started in 2023 and his coordinated by Barbot Bernardo and has Cru Creative Hub (Por) and Matera Hub (ITA) as partners. The project consists of preparing pilots to facilitate access to technical knowledge in small-scale manufacturing and artisanal work. In addition, it will seek to develop and distribute high-quality educational content, oriented and adapted for contemporary audiences and digital media. The learning strategy combines more conventional elements of distance learning, such as those already found in Saber Fazer's online courses, with others developed and adapted for a social learning logic and more informal learning on social networks.Find out how we created GatewayCrafts’s identity.
