Traditional Crafts in Global Market

Develop a strategy for preserving a traditional craft while expanding its economic value in a global market. Analyze three routes: local master-apprentice networks with small-scale exports, digital marketplaces and virtual exhibitions, and government-supported cultural diplomacy. For each route, assess skills training, quality control, product differentiation, branding, and resilience to market shocks. Propose an action plan for a mid-sized city renowned for a craft, including stakeholder roles, funding, and success metrics.
