Ceramics and Crafts: Social Inclusion through Knowledge and Skills (CECRA) is a project that is funded by the European Union Erasmus+ programme (Grant Agreement Number 022-1-ES01-KA210-ADU-000083062). The general objective of the project is to help adult people with fewer opportunities find refuge and resilience in arts and ceramics and to provide the necessary knowledge on how to establish a successful arts & ceramics program that benefits these people and the whole community.
The project’s specific objectives are:
- To develop the integration of people with and without intellectual disabilities.
- To train and expand professional skills for social entrepreneurship.
- To acquire skills and abilities for the different ceramic creation tools.
- To facilitate the exchange of experiences in creative spaces and professional artists.

- To promote participation and accessibility of all groups linked to diversity through cultural activities.
- To strengthen links between museums, professionals, cultural agents and the most vulnerable groups of people.
- To bridge the gap between the most vulnerable target group- adult and the art and culture sector.
- To learn more about how to use art and ceramics in adult work to maximize the benefits for marginalized adults and give them a voice.
- To develop practical skills in setting up workspaces, providing materials, and showcasing the results of art and ceramics projects with adult participants.
- To make a positive impact on the community by fostering artistic expression and appreciation among adult participants and exhibiting their work with the support of cultural institutions.
