Artisan Digi-preneurship – The New Formal?

The event will propose an emerging model that Creative Dignity ( CD ) is developing with Digital Empowerment Foundation ( DEF ) to nurture artisan youth at the cluster level in building digital services that link self-organised artisan units to a digital community of stakeholders. The event will draw on DEF’s experience in digital empowerment of 20 years, along with CD’s vision of building agency for artisan communities. Given that 90% of artisans are self-organised micro entrepreneurs, this could be a model to position as the new formal. The event proposes a discussion around the challenges and opportunities as well as a soft launch of this model.
