The natural dyeing trainings were organized in three regions, Algiers, Bejaia and Skikda.
This training emphasizes the fact that the plants and materials used are present in forests and natural environments. The training highlights the value of biodiversity and the use of local products by rural women.
The training was organized in the form of a three-day session comprising a day of theory and a day of practice.
The craftswomen aim to share their experience, develop practical work sessions and capitalize on their action.
A network has been created in Skikda where a great diversity offering several possibilities is found in nature.
As part of the PAP ENPARD program, Res’Art has set up a series of training sessions and meetings with craftswomen in Algeria and France.
Two Eductours, one in Marseille and the other in Tunisia, the Eductour aims to meet craftswomen and the different energies and synergies in the places visited, travel and learn, meet, improve and forge links between craftswomen. Above all, see how other experiences and territories are developing their know-how in rural areas. The organization of the Eductour was carried out with the collaboration and supervision of Citoyen de la Terre.

Craftswomen from different regions of the country, from rural areas, Laghouat, Blida, Algiers, Timimoune, Tlemcen, Ain Témouchent participated in the visits, and enriched the exchanges with the know-how and knowledge of their regions.
Eductour in Tunisia
Three Eductours were organized as part of the project setting up a network of women between Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco, because rural women wear and weave the same colors “Amina Youcef Khoudja”. This is a story to follow over the next meetings and exchanges of craftswomen on these different experiences and sharing of their knowledge.
October 15 is International Rural Women’s Day. INVA organized a day around the theme of rural women, on two main communications: The roles of the national “rural women” unit, gender presented by the FAO. Testimonies and experiences of rural women in the development of natural resources.
In this context, we presented our exhibition “Recycling is an art for them”, and we also took this opportunity to talk about the experience we had with crafts and rural women in the framework of the “Takwin wa Tamkin”, which we set up as part of the PAPENPARD program.
What are their difficulties and what are their economic contributions. Rural women participated through their reflection and wishes so that all good institutional decisions are put into practice on the ground with their help and involvement.
