****A discussion on the relevance of crafts and heritage*** In the age of digital explosion and globalisation, traditional craft and heritage which once played a pivotal role in our lives seems to have been made redundant.  Beyond the livelihood of the artisans, what do the handmade products with their unique characteristics and stories mean today?  Will the decline of traditional crafts lead to a loss of cultural identities around the world?With digitalisation, globalisation and mass production in a predominantly capitalistic world greatly threatening the survival of cultural heritage, what can be done to safeguard such traditional crafts and ensure not just the livelihoods of the artisans but also the continuity of such skills down the generations? We will be doing a discussion with The Green Collective SG partner brands "kakis" Purnama Outreach, Green Gaea and Style Cat about the meaning of craft and heritage in modern times, the challenges that the artisanal communities that they work with face and what can be done to overcome those challenges to allow traditional crafts to thrive.Event schedule7:00pm - Introduction of the panelists7:05pm - Start of the panel discussion7:30pm - Q&A7:45pm - End of sessionThis talk is part of the #kampungchats organised by The Green Collective SG.SpeakersGreen GaeaGreen Gaea which supports local artisanal communities around the world through fair trade practices is founded by Anne Haeley. Through her business selling products handcrafted by these artisans, not only does Anne support their skills but also help women and families find work, have better health, access to education, clearing land mines, access to clean water and to improve the overall quality of living  Purnama Purnama is a social enterprise based in Singapore.
