Abstract

Handcrafts made in order to generate income by selling the surplus to meet other needs constitute a part of the intangible cultural heritage. The Ministry of Education, Public Education Centres also provide training in many fields of handcrafting. Due to rapid developments in science, technology, society and economy, Public Education Centres play an important role in individuals’ self-development and their acquisition of knowledge and skills to adapt to social and cultural changes. Due to technological developments, the intangible cultural heritage of handcrafting is in decline. Maintaining and transferring it to the next generations is important. Handcrafting courses in Public Education Centres are an important mission to fulfil in terms of remembering and keeping handcrafting alive. Handcrafting, the role of its education in the national courses organized by Public Education Centres affiliated to the Ministry of Education, and the importance of its maintenance in Turkey are explained in this paper.
