Project summary
This project protected the unique cultural heritage of Soqotra, an island off the coast of Yemen. The project documented little known traditional practices, including traditional clothing design and manufacture, locally designed tools and musical instruments.
The project established a sustainable training programme and apprenticeship scheme to develop a new generation of artisans, and also hosted two heritage festivals to raise awareness in the community.
