2. Vocational training in the centre :

    
             
                     
 

Techniques linked to ceramic are extremely complexes and it needs a long apprenticeship. We must ensure this technological transfer who usually is made from generation to generation, because those technologies are deeply linked to Cambodian soil. This craft heritage was broken in awful event bear by the Cambodians.

      
       
       
       
       
                     
  Training cycles are managed in logical progression, if a student stops after a cycle; we want that he can use his new knowledge to find professional opportunities.      
       
                  Potter wheel techniques needs a very long apprenticeship.    
  Cycle 1 (6 months) :
