In December 2023, the Chamber of Skilled Crafts Koblenz launched a partnership with the National Chamber of Crafts in Albania and the Association for Crafts and Entrepreneurs in Prizren, Kosovo. This project will run for three years, until December 14, 2026. The primary goals are to improve business conditions for craft enterprises in both countries, address the local shortage of skilled workers, and enhance the perception of crafts as a strong economic force through an image campaign. Furthermore, master-level qualifications in the hairdressing and textile crafts sectors will be developed and implemented according to German standards.
