Japan’s Sasakawa Peace Foundation will work with Iran Cultural Heritage Handicrafts and Tourism Organization on a joint research project centered on “women and handicraft” next year, the head of Handicraft Exports Office at ICHHTO said.
Noting that the findings of this research will be published and educational workshops will be held later, Pouya Mahmoudian added that women constitute more than 75% of Iranians active in the field of handicrafts, IRNA reported.
Sasakawa Peace Foundation, an affiliate of Nippon Foundation, is a public foundation corporation that conducts research activities, policy recommendations and international collaboration aimed at the formation of a new governance system of human society that is more sustainable for environment, oceans and human welfare.
The foundation has been involved in several projects to promote mutual trust and understanding between Iran and Japan.
