Homo Faber Fellowship

The Homo Faber Fellowship is an education programme which assists with the professional integration of talented  graduates into the craft sector. The seven-month Fellowship incorporates a month-long entrepreneurial and creative masterclass certified by ESSEC Business School at Joana Vasconcelos’ atelier, and a six-month sponsored placement in the workshop of a master artisan.

 

Designed for duos of master artisans and young talents, the Fellowship facilitates the transmission of skills. The programme marks the beginning of a long-term partnership with Jaeger-LeCoultre who share the Foundation’s vision for the future of craftsmanship. The first edition is taking place in five European countries in partnership with local members of the Foundation’s network.

The education programme launched in partnership with Jaeger-LeCoultre debuts in September. The seven-month Fellowship incorporates a month-long entrepreneurial and creative masterclass certified by ESSEC Business School at Joana Vasconcelos’ studio, in addition to a six-month placement for practical skills acquisition in the workshop of a master artisan. Different experts in their fields, from designers to communication specialists, will provide mentoring advice to the duos during the course of the Fellowship.

The Michelangelo Foundation announces the selection of 20 duos for the first edition of Homo Faber Fellowship.

  • The first edition begins in September with a month-long creative and entrepreneurial masterclass at Joana Vasconcelos’ atelier in Lisbon.
  • Certified by ESSEC Business School, the masterclass will equip fellows with key creative and entrepreneurial skills.
  • The 20 established artisans will then welcome their fellow for a six-month sponsored placement in their workshops.
  • The workshops of the participating artisans are in France, Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Spain.
