le19M and the Savoir-faire Transmission Awards.

The Savoir-faire Transmission Awards are run by the Bureau Design Mode Métiers d’Art - Les Ateliers de Paris (BDMMA). The BDMMA implements the City of Paris’s policy in support of the creative professions. Through a range of initiatives, it helps emerging and established companies and designers in the design, fashion, and Métiers d’art sectors to develop their businesses.

The Savoir-faire Transmission Awards are a professional integration scheme that enables young professionals to perfect their training within a Métier d’art company. The prizes, each worth 10,000 euros, offer a trainee the opportunity to spend a year’s full-time training in the workshop of an Artisan d’art. Aimed at students with or without qualifications, and adults looking to reskill, they provide the opportunity to gain significant professional experience through practical projects, perfect their skills, and observe the day-to-day running of a business.

In 2021, le19M, which aims to preserve savoir-faire as does the BDMMA, joined forces with the City of Paris to create two Savoir-faire Transmission Awards. For the 2023 edition, a total of 23 prizes were awarded by the City of Paris and its sponsors.
