Abstract

Design as an element of added value to handcrafted products maximizes the impact of these cultural assets within production systems, forming part of the creative economy, one of the fastest growing sectors globally. To establish new communities, it will be key to collaborate, add value through the transformative power and richness of cultural heritage, adopting technology and digital media as allies. For regeneration and growth, it is necessary to add creativity, cooperation, sustainability, as well as increase investment in the social and cultural aspects of productivity.
