Our Mission

To provide guidance, research and support to producers of craft and fashion throughout Trinidad and Tobago so as to facilitate and promote their development and success

Why we help
ECCL will contribute towards economic diversity while enhancing the development and creative talent of our citizens. This transformation will hinge upon the enhancement of our human capital through education, training and youth development, as well as the transformation of our rich cultural diversity, history and heritage.

We are not alone
The ECCL is also aware of the global economic challenges faced by contemporary society. It follows that in order for us to grow and expand, the organisation must also adopt to the changes in our socio-economic environment by learning and adopting new means of production and techniques in craft.
Our Vision

ECCL sees itself as the leading institution involved in the revitalization of the local handicraft and fashion industry and playing a major role in artisan development

How we contribute
Craft cannot merely be viewed as a past-time or hobby. Rather, it has the potential of becoming a sustainable industry, capable of generating revenue, creating new avenues for employment and contributing to the GDP of Trinidad and Tobago.

What we do
ECCL can be viewed as a ‘developmental’ organization contributing to community development and social transformation.
