From 14-30 at Fondazione Giorgio Cini in Venice, Homo Faber will be an anthem to Craftsmanship and Arts et Métiers! Several Homo Faber events will focus on the past and present of the Craftsmanship and Furniture Industries, but there is one particular exhibition/ event that will focus on the Future of the ancient arts! We are talking about the HOMO FABER’S YOUNG AMBASSADORS.

 

 

More than 100 talented young women and men studying applied arts and design in some of Europe’s top educational establishments will bring Homo Faber to life for visitors in a unique joint educational and cultural mediation initiative of the Fondazione Giorgio Cini and the Michelangelo Foundation.  Following a rigorous selection process, the 105 Young Ambassadors were chosen from 26 educational institutions which are a part of the Michelangelo Foundation’s informal network of like-minded organizations

 

 

Of fundamental importance for the Foundation, the network has been forged to create a space for the community, mutual support, and exchange across countries and disciplines. Both Homo Faber and its Young Ambassadors programme represent one of the network’s first major undertakings.

 

Participation in this one-of-a-kind programme offers the students a unique opportunity to meet some of Europe’s finest artisans, designers, institutions and luxury houses, as well as to interact with their peers and to form a network to carry with them into their future careers. The Young Ambassadors programme is an educational initiative of the Fondazione Giorgio Cini in partnership with the Michelangelo Foundation, organisers of Homo Faber.  The 105 participating Young Ambassadors come from 26 educational institutions in 15 European countries and they are:
