Launching the Official ACTIVATE Project Website

Jun 29, 2026 by

We are thrilled to announce the official launch of the ACTIVATE project website—a brand-new digital hub dedicated to building skills, boosting competitiveness, and bringing the European craft sector directly into the modern age.

With approximately 153 million people driving Europe’s rich craft sector, our goal is to empower artisans, craftspeople, artists, self-employed innovators, and blue-collar workers to confidently adapt to the current European green and digital transition.

What You Will Find on Our Website

Designed to share precise information smoothly and transparently, our new website will act as the central gateway to the primary results of our project:

  • The ACTIVATE Roadmap: A step-by-step practical framework to help you analyze and upgrade essential business areas—from accounting, digital billing, and online marketing, to shortening your supply chain sustainably.
  • The ACTIVATE Digital Toolkit: A comprehensive bundle of resources directly mapping to the roadmap, featuring mobile-friendly micro-learning units, video tutorials, templates, and actionable to-do lists.
  • Project News & Milestones: Follow our updates from our international workshops in Torino, Sofia, and Kaunas as we build, test, and translate these resources into four languages (English, Italian, Lithuanian, and Bulgarian).

Why It Matters

Today, sustainability and digital presence are non-negotiable for business profitability and community growth. Consumers want authentic, high-quality, and ethically made items. Increasing your digital skills doesn’t mean changing your craft; it means automating operational processes—like invoicing or managing energy footprints—leaving you more time to create.

We are introducing short, practical, and fast upskilling methods designed specifically for adults who are already working and need to see rapid, real-world value.
