Serfenta

Serfenta has existed for over 15 years. We are experts at modern and business approach to basketry craft. We created our own Business Model “From Research to Business”, thanks to which we earn money to carry out our activities. Our goals include sharing, promoting, and managing knowledge about the intangible heritage of basketry. Our activities cover workshops and expert events; talks 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. Serfenta is one of three Polish NGOs that is accredited by UNESCO. In 2022, we received the Jeonju International Award for Promoting Intangible Cultural Heritage (JIAPICH), with strong focus on sustainable business. We are also a finalists of New European Bauhaus Award 2023 with the Innovation Model of Craft Revitalisation.
