About the Project
With the support of the Praia Bitcoin Jericoacoara experiment, artisan Bárbara Ventura, with 16 years of experience in macramé, will lead eight free workshops for up to 10 children and teenagers from the village of Jericoacoara.
Over eight classes, students will be rewarded in Bitcoin for their participation, learning everything from basic knots to advanced techniques to create decorative pieces, jewelry, clothing, and other items.
This project will be funded exclusively by Bitcoin donations, empowering students to use it in their daily lives and integrating them into Jericoacoara's Bitcoin Circular Economy. This will help them develop skills that can become a source of sustainable income and artistic expression.
