Immigrants' Craftsmen in Sweden
The project aims to create a digital Platform for Syrian immigrants' craftsmen who came to Sweden due to the harsh war circumistances in their home country since 2011. The Syrian craftsmen have lost their companies and stopped practicing their traditional crafts which were in danger of extinction. Even they were forced to leave their country, but their hope of reviving their cultural heritage never stopped. Unfortunatly, they faced many difficulties to practice their crafts and to enter Swedish labor market due to the tough labor policies and cultural differences. Immigrants'Craftsmen have worked with many other jobs just to gain money and to be able to stay in Sweden as many of then in danger of deportation. They are living and wishing to work with their homeland jobs and eager to gain some help.
