Currently Center Rog employees 30 mentors who are all highly experienced craft experts, catering to the needs of more than 1200 members of Center Rog community.
Center Rog is currently one of the partners in a CREA funded programme titled Made in Platform for Contemporary Crafts & Design. This is a research, design, and heritage initiative encouraging collaboration and knowledge exchange between traditional craftspeople and contemporary designers, as well as other experts in the fields of culture and science. The aim of the project is to highlight new material research approaches and other design processes related to topics like the degradation of natural resources, extraction, and models of sustainable production.
We organize a yearly international event titled RogDesignDays where we explore sustainability challenges through a youth creative sprint, a forum with like-minded organizations, and an exhibition of products developed in our production labs.
