The initiators wanted to develop a testing ground in which the efforts of the UNESCO Convention for the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage (2003) would be linked to local policymaking in a programme across policy areas: heritage, tourism, urban development, education. With Handmade in Brugge, an alternative storyline for Bruges was written from 2013 onwards. In addition to the well-known tangible and world heritage of the city, Handmade in Brugge wanted to both stimulate and make the intangible heritage more visible. Handmade in Brugge is now anchored in a multi-year policy and is increasingly focusing on current themes such as innovation, creative entrepreneurship, sustainability and the search for answers to societal challenges. Together with a broad network of creators and numerous other players in the city, Handmade in Brugge contributes to a tourism that pays attention to what goes on in the city today and is made locally by many hands on a daily basis.}, year = {2020}, journal = {Volskunde}, volume = {121}, number = {4}, pages = {747-760}, month = {dec}, issn = {00428523 (ISSN)}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85103549502&partnerID=40&md5=06ffc9df51ecc40e4a895ed4144849bc}, note = {Publisher: Centrum Studie Documentatie}, language = {Dutch}, }
