162 TEHIC Towards a European Heritage Interpretation Curriculum 7.4.1. A Coruña of crafts guided tour Criteria it meets and justification 1. Time and Sustainability Time path of the project Visits are organised once a month during the central months of the year (April-October). The experience started in April 2021, and is still in operation. Sustainability It is a regular activity concerning the three goals. It is educational because it aims to transmit values to the community so that they are recognized and preserved. It is positive from a social and economic point of view, as it supports the work of many people who develop trades that are not always well-valued and/or in danger of disappearing. It is good for the community because people benefit from the experience, whether they participate as the audience or being part of the group of artisans involved. 2. Community engagement Degree of engagement Before launching the tour, a search was made in order to locate businesses that still have a workshop or manufacture their own products using craft techniques. During each tour, three or four businesses are invited to participate, telling participants why they created the business, what it means, and partially explaining the artisanal process. “Cascarillei - ros” collaborates with more than twenty local stores, putting them on the map. Diversity of Audiences All kinds of audiences. Positive impact on the community This activity has an impact on the community as local craftsmen are directly involved and most of the audiences are local people interested in their own history and tradi - tions. There is a leisure contact between them, and eventually a commercial relationship in the future.
