Meeting online on the web and in social media is developing and enriching, but an important strategy is to really meet. Over time, being able to create lasting relationships, to get together in our profession where the personal contact also gets space, creates a basis for continued collaboration and development. To meet in real life and to be creative together has a big impact of future relations and collaborations.
Nordic Textile Art has received Long Term Network funding financed by the Nordic Council of Ministers for the project Nordic Textile Art - Advanced Dialogue. This workshop is a part of the project.
