A meeting was held at the RDA BKP premises with representatives of rural women, handicraft producers, and partners from Sibiu (Romania)<\/strong>, who visited Montenegro as part of the Commheritour<\/strong> project. The meeting served as an essential platform for identifying challenges and defining opportunities for the revitalization of traditional crafts.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Sector Analysis and Knowledge Exchange<\/h4>\n

Participants discussed the current state of handicrafts, wool processing issues, and the adaptation of traditional skills to market needs. A SWOT analysis confirmed the strengths of our rich cultural heritage and motivated artisans, while also identifying limited market access and the need for knowledge transfer to younger generations.<\/p>\n

\n

Partners from Sibiu shared their extensive experience in developing souvenir offers and handicraft markets<\/strong>. Their advice on product development, packaging, and presentation was of great value to our local artisans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The discussion concluded that embroidery is the most promising direction for a pilot activity. Deeply rooted in local tradition and requiring minimal investment, embroidery offers significant potential for creating attractive products tailored to the modern souvenir market.<\/p>\n

\n

The pilot activity will focus on embroidery training<\/strong> with ethnological support to identify authentic motifs. The goal is to create prototypes to be tested in the Berane Tourist Organization souvenir shop.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A Bridge to Sustainable Development<\/h4>\n

This initiative is part of the Interreg Danube project DanubeCrafts<\/strong>. The pilot activity represents a vital first step toward building a cooperation model between rural women and the tourism sector, aiming for the economic empowerment of the community.<\/p>\n

RDA BKP will continue to provide support, convinced that embroidery can reclaim its place in the modern market and empower women from rural areas.<\/p>\n
