Organization's Mission

The mission of Synergo Arts is to help artists and artisans around the world build their capacity for using ergonomics to maximize their health, income, performance, productivity, creativity, and art or craft quality. We do this through a grassroots approach to developing and delivering resources in ergonomics education, consulting and design. Our mission emphasizes self-empowerment for artisans who depend on their craft for survival.

Organization's Programs

Synergo Arts develops and provides ergonomics education, consulting and design resources. In Latin America our current focus is a program that teaches carpenters to make an ergonomic weaving-bench, and trains weavers to use the bench for better health, increased earning potential, and preservation of their indigenous culture.
