New generations are learning old-world skills on social media and the trend is growing. People around the world are acquiring real skills online as master craftsmen share their trade, expertise, and professionalism with their “followers.” Old-world skills include such things as how to make shoes, craft a beautiful table out of wood, hunt an elk and prepare it for dinner, make delicious cheese, or make clothes from animal skins.
These skills hold a wealth of knowledge vital to preserving cultural heritage and promoting sustainability. Developed over centuries of learning and experience, they represent a deep connection to our past. People are watching informational videos and acquiring the techniques and know-how from the masters of their art. By teaching these skills to others online, we help preserve the knowledge for future generations.
