Šiandien naujosioms technologijoms aktyviai keičiant senąsias tradicijas, vis daugiau sentimentų sulaukia rankų darbo gaminiai. Keičiantis ekonominėms ar gaminių paklausos rinkoje sąlygoms atsiranda niša smulkaus verslo vystymui, o stambesni verslininkai yra priversti permąstyti verslo perspektyvas ir pasiryžti įgyvendinti kūrybines iniciatyvas.
Aicinām pieteikties amatniekus projektā “Nodarbinātības un uzņēmējdarbība bez robežām”. Projekta mērķis ir pilnveidot un uzlabot Latvijas-Lietuvas pierobežas biznesa vidi ar tādu aktivitāšu palīdzību, kuras stimulētu vietējos amatniekus attīstīt jaunas biznesa idejas radošās amatniecības jomā, lai uzsāktu savu uzņēmējdarbību. Projekts ir veidots, lai risinātu divas galvenās problēmas, ar ko saskaras amatnieki – konkurētspējīga produkta izveide un jaunu noietu tirgu atrašana.
