2) Building a Craft & Design Enterprise (BCDE)
The BCDE programme could be exactly what you need to recognize opportunities, boost your work in the market place through focused design-led workshops. Since 2015 almost 400 talented craft and design enterprises, from all over Ireland, have become part of the BCDE family.

The programme has always been adaptable to the needs and disciplines of participants while recognising ongoing changes in the marketplace. In 2020 the programmes were a much-needed support and help to designers while navigating unprecedented challenges during the pandemic.
