The project aims to: 1) to define the weaving traditions of the artisans of the third district of Leyte through the customized heritage online mapping experience (HOME) template; 2)to add value to the tradition and creativity of artisans through design, skill, knowledge and collaborative lectures from the academe and the industry both from national and international levels; 3) to evolve climate change protocols to safeguard the tradition and encourage the adaptability of the artisans through case study discussions with representatives from resilient artisanal communities; 4) to propose support mechanism and reinforcement towards sustainability through integration in the formal basic education system, particularly in the livelihood education subject/course.

Using cultural mapping data, the project translates cultural values into tangible products and solutions that inspire good design and innovation.
