EtpShop for Arts and Handicrafts

 

The focus of ETP Slovakia is to support local development and to empower the social, economic, and cultural capacities of citizens, including socially disadvantaged groups and ethnic minorities. During the implementation of YOUR SPIS Programme ETP Slovakia has gained extensive experience in the field of capacity building of disadvantaged groups, has developed strong ties, networks and genuine partnership cooperation with local governments, public organizations and community-based NGOs, as well as with skillful artisans and craftsmen from Eastern Slovakia. We have realized that handicraftsmen lack opportunities to present, promote and sell their original products in the disadvantaged regions of Eastern Slovakia. Therefore ETP Slovakia submitted in the framework of the Royal Embassy of the Netherlands MATRA KAP Programme the project proposal entitled E-shop for Roma handicrafts from the Spis Region. The main aim of the project is to provide support the retail sale of original arts and crafts from disadvantaged regions of Eastern Slovakia via a virtual e-shop as well as via existing distribution chains. The project target groups are Roma and non-Roma folk handicraftsmen, artisans.

More than 100 handicraftsmen from far east localities around Bardejov and Svidnik up to more western towns and villages, such as Poprad and Strba have been visited with an offer to display and sell original pieces of their work through the virtual shop. Almost eighty handicraftsmen and artisans agreed to become part of a bigger family. Not only the virtual internet site has been created but also, in partnership with Strba Local Council and a local entrepreneur, ETP Slovakia has opened a small shop in the premises of the Motorest Sosna in the Winter of 2005. The ETP Shop of Folk Arts and Handicrafts sells products made by artisans and craftsmen from disadvantaged regions of Eastern Slovakia. The Shop arises of ETP Slovakia’s developmental programmes YOUR SPIS I and YOUR SPIS II - Inclusion of NGOs into Social Economy - that support long-term unemployed citizens of Spis by encouraging their integration into the labour market as well as creating job opportunities for disadvantaged people in newly established social enterprises.
