Update on Sunday’s artisans meeting


Daniel attended the meeting and briefed us about the relevant points.

The main issue concern the organization of the design workshops as some artisans are not motivated any more to take those classes. Some artisans seem doubtful that those workshops will be helpful for them. This is a surprise for us as one week ago the artisans seemed enthusiastic at this idea.

Even if this will have to be discussed with Mario, one option for us would be to focus on the motivated artisans and hope that the others will follow.

  1. Sometimes poor people can be risk averse. If you start with just a few artisans, the others will probably follow once they see the early adopters getting good results.

    Patty said some women were self-conscious of their knitting/weaving skills and didn't want to practice in front of the others. Maybe that's it.
