The Code of Practice for Partnerships in Craft & Design has been developed to encourage ethical relations between developers and producers. With increasing access to global communication, there are increasing opportunities for partnership between village artisans and urban designers. Yet given the differences in education and capital, producers are vulnerable to exploitation. Designers too may also be treated with suspicion.
The Code of Practice for Partnerships in Craft & Design was developed over three years of workshops, roundtables and forums between Australia and India as part of the Sangam Project. For details about the code and how you can use it, go here.
I am a Designer & Academician, and my vision and mission for almost three decades have been, to use my Design understanding for the sustained development of the Craft and the artisans practicing the craft. I am a firm believer in Inclusive Design works and a participatory approach to design for grassroots. I am excited to briefly read about the Code of Practice for partnerships in Craft and Design. Request you to please send me more details.
Thanks for your interest. You can find more details about the code here: http://sangamproject.net/code
