Company Description

Our Legacy Live is a non profit association on a social mission. We preserve cultural heritage by documenting craft processes, knowledge and skills. We try to safeguard age old wisdom which is at risk of getting lost where modern digital technologies dominate. You are welcome to our team to support the cause.

We try to safeguard age old wisdom and pass it on to younger generations through our platform by bringing the craft masters and apprentices together. Our mission is to bring back the joy of working with hands and real (non-virtual) material. Craftmaster's complete knowledge is not found in online courses or books. This knowledge is passed from hand to hand, mind to mind.

If all this sounds interesting to you, we would like to hear from you. Even if there is no position for you at this time, you can join our community or send an open application to [email protected].
