Crafts, arts and digital fabrication
F.A.B.L.E. is an association based in Faenza, Italy. We develop courses, workshops and cultural initiatives that connect manual skills, digital tools, visual arts, design and communication.
Young people, adults, craftspeople, artists, trainers and cultural workers interested in practical, interdisciplinary learning.
Schools, universities, public bodies, non-profits, foundations, companies and professionals working toward compatible goals.
Courses, workshops, exchanges, events, editorial content and local, national or European projects. Each format depends on the goals, resources and partners available.

Our approach
The essentials of every project
How we assess a proposal
An idea can become a F.A.B.L.E. activity when it matches our mission, has clear participants and responsibilities, and is sustainable with the available resources. If these elements are missing, we verify them before presenting it as a project.Purpose and participants
Who takes part, which educational or cultural need the project addresses, and the concrete result we want to achieve.
Activities and resources
What will happen, which skills, tools, materials and spaces are needed, and who is responsible for each part.
Timeline and outputs
Schedule, costs, participation details and the materials or results that can be shared afterwards.
