The Regional Secretariat of Agriculture and Fisheries has certified 45 individuals in professional courses related to Madeira's cultural heritage.

The Regional Secretariat of Agriculture and Fisheries, through the Institute of Wine, Embroidery, and Handicrafts of Madeira (IVBAM), awarded certificates to 45 participants who successfully completed professional courses in Madeira Embroidery, Viticulture Technician, and Artisan of Arts and Crafts in Madeira - Inlay Carpenter.

These courses are part of a collaborative project between IVBAM and Competir - Professional Training, funded by the European Social Fund through Madeira 2030, a program that will continue until 2027. This initiative aims to preserve and promote the rich cultural heritage of Madeira, ensuring that traditional skills are passed on to new generations.

Madeira, known for its picturesque landscapes and rich cultural traditions, has a strong reputation for its handcrafted embroidery and wine production. The certification ceremony not only highlights the island's commitment to maintaining its cultural identity but also supports the local economy by equipping residents with marketable skills.

The courses offered are tailored to enhance the skills of individuals in traditional Madeira crafts, which are an integral part of the island's tourism appeal. By investing in education and professional training, Madeira continues to uphold its cultural legacy while adapting to modern economic demands.
