What happens when you connect artisans from Eswatini with designers from Europe for a cultural and artistic exchange? Magic ✨ Through International Trade Centre's #AlliancesforAction initiative, talented artisans from Eswatini showcased their craft at Paris Design Week Factory last month, blending traditional heritage with modern design in a beautiful collaboration with European designers. This unique partnership, backed by the EU and Eswatini Government under the "Eswatini: Promoting growth through competitive alliances" programme supports artisans like Tintsaba and Favorite Design to refine their techniques and connect with global markets while preserving cultural identity. From handcrafted grass and sisal fiber lamps to vibrant, durable home décor, Eswatini’s creations drew admiration and sparked interest in sustainable craftsmanship. These opportunities highlight the global impact of Eswatini's rich artisan legacy. #ThisWeekatITC #AlliancesForAction #ParisDesignWeek #EswatiniArtisans #SustainableDesign #CulturalHeritage

🌍☕ Here’s our vision for a #CircularEconomy model in the #coffee sector, crafted through a deeply collaborative process led by the International Trade Centre Coffee Guide Network - Circular Economy Working Group since 2023. This was not just a discussion: it was a convergence of global perspectives, where experts, farmers, and industry leaders co-created a shared definition for lasting change. ♻️ This model goes beyond conventional sustainability efforts. It embodies a systems-thinking approach that integrates regenerative practices, minimizes waste, and maximizes the value of every resource across the coffee value chain. It reflects a shared commitment to balancing environmental responsibility, social equity, and economic resilience. 🌱 What began as a conversation has now become a powerful, unified definition for the future of the coffee sector, designed to drive our actions. 🚀 Ready to be part of this movement? Join us at the Center for Circular Economy in Coffee and collaborate with global changemakers to create real impact in the coffee industry. Apply via: https://lnkd.in/eUPgeycV #C4CEC #SustainableCoffee #ClimateAction #Coffee #Innovation #Circularity #SystemsThinking Fondazione Lavazza International Coffee Organization ITC Agribusiness Politecnico di Torino University of Gastronomic Sciences - Pollenzo UNIDO Alessandro Campanella Chiara Scaraggi Dario Toso Giulia Macola Katherine Oglietti Mariamawit Solomon Kassa
