Team
Serfenta is one of the three UNESCO-accredited NGOs in Poland. Our international basketry journey has continued for 17 years now. Leaders of the organization are experts at modern and business approach to basketry craft. We created our own Business Model, thanks to which we earn money to carry out our activities regardless of external funding. Our goals include sharing, promoting, and managing knowledge about the intangible heritage of basketry. Our activities cover workshops and expert events about the meeting point between cultural anthropology, craft, and market and bringing the craft experience to everyone. We teach those, who then teach others to spread the knowledge and skills of the basketry. In 2022, we received the EUROPA NOSTRA 2024 Award, and also Jeonju International Award for Promoting Intangible Cultural Heritage (JIAPICH) with strong focus on sustainable business. We are also finalists of New European Bauhaus Award 2023 with the Innovation Model of Craft Revitalisation.
