Abstract

It seemed that the lack of the involvement of ethnic groups, in crafts industries in Oman, is very clear. As a result of this shortage, crafts industries in Oman are affected negatively, because of losing ethnic groups contributions in this field. Regarding this challenge, this research paper will explore ways that can help to take advantage of these groups’ craftsmanship and participation in crafts enterprise in order to contribute to society's diverse forms of identity.
