An international conference entitled "Promoting Natural Materials Know-how"
will be held at Tallinn University on 14 September 2012. The conference
will be held in the auditorium M218 (TU Mare building, Uus-Sadama 5).The
conference will sum up a project entitled Promoting Natural Material
Know-how (ProNatMat) that has lasted for three years. The ProNatMat project
promotes natural material know-how in Finland and Estonia by using their
already existing strong traditional backgrounds. The natural material
know-how is part of a cultural heritage which should be maintained and
passed on to coming generations before it disappears with the old masters.
The aim of the project was to increase the use of natural materials in
fields such as ecological building, handicraft, design, art and cultural
heritage. The project also aimed to increase awareness among all population
groups and carry out training aimed at both experts and the general public.
The project was funded within the framework of Central Baltic Interreg IV
Programme 2007-2012 and coordinated by the Turku Univeristy of Applied
Sciences.The programme of the conference is available here.The working
languages of the conference are Finnish and English.
