The COVID-19 pandemic posed severe challenges to the handicrafts industry, compelling many enterprises to explore Information and Communication Technology (ICT) as a means of survival and growth. This study investigates the role of ICT in marketing handicrafts within the Delhi/National Capital Region in the post-pandemic period. Employing a cross-sectional research design, data were collected from 234 artisans and enterprises through a structured questionnaire. The analysis, conducted using reliability tests, descriptive statistics, and multiple regression techniques, focused on the impact of digital marketing, social media, and e-commerce platforms on sales performance. Findings reveal a strong positive relationship between ICT adoption and improved sales outcomes, underscoring the crucial role of digital channels in helping artisans recover and expand their businesses after COVID-19. The study offers valuable insights for artisans, entrepreneurs, marketers, and policymakers on how ICT can be leveraged to enhance market visibility, increase revenue, and ensure long-term sustainability of the handicrafts sector.

The context for this research is a collaboration that took place in 2021 between the general teacher education study program in arts and crafts at the NTNU Norwegian University of Science and Technology and the University College of Dance Art in Oslo, Norway.  The higher dance education institution visited the general teacher education institution with the workshop KROM, an anagram for body and spaces in Norwegian. KROM was developed at Rom for dans (Dancespaces) and is a well-established workshop project that has been touring schools in Norway widely. The KROM workshop visiting the teacher education institution became an educational design research project guided by the question: How can a workshop collaboration with the topic “body and spaces” carried out by an educational design team from a primary and secondary teacher education institution and a higher dance education institution produce insights about aesthetic learning processes in arts and crafts? An educational design team consisting of six members from the two involved institutions designed, carried out, and researched the project. Central insights offered as an outcome of the collaboration are as follows: the quality of the collaboration in the design-team itself is of crucial importance; active connections to the traditions and pedagogies of the hosting subject, in this case arts and crafts, need to be made by the hosting teacher educators in order to support the teacher candidates’ learning; and, dance engages specifically the elements of body, space, embodied collaboration, and play in arts and crafts aesthetic learning processes.
