Participate in a life-changing programme

Homo Faber Fellowship is a 7-month sponsored professional integration programme designed for duos of master artisans and emerging talents. Participants will develop business and marketing knowledge, as well as design and hands-on practical skills through transmission from one generation to the next. The programme is developed with the support of Jaeger-LeCoultre who share our vision for the future of craftsmanship. The programme takes place from September to March every year in partnership with local members of the Foundation’s network.
