A four-day conference on the History of the Arts & Crafts Movement and the History of the Settlement Movement.
The Arts & Crafts and Settlement Movements are closely linked. They both emerged in the early days of the social emancipation movement at the end of the 19th century. Arts & Crafts has had a worldwide influence on architecture and industrial design. For many people Settlements have been a first chance on personal development and education.
