Aid to Artisans Launches First Distance Training with Iraqi Women
March 10 and 11 were exciting days at Aid to Artisans. We launched our first distance learning training program. Read about the training here: ow.ly This training marked the first of Aid to Artisans Distance Learning initiatives, which we plan to greatly expand so that we reach many more artisans using the Internet. We are in the process of also launching an Aid to Artisans virtual university that will offer our training modules online in 8 languages to artisans anywhere in the world. Our first client using this distance learning program was the US State Department. On March 10 – 11 we led a virtual training session with Iraqi women at the US Embassy, and became the first organization to ever lead a distance learning training there. Our Mission: We create opportunities for low-income artisans around the world to build profitable businesses inspired by handmade traditions. We offer access to new markets, business training, eco-effective processes and design innovation through a network of partners to promote sustainable growth and community well-being.
