Progetti Europei:

The fashion & textile industry is the second largest polluter in the world. The changes proposed by the new EU Textiles Directive, to be enforced in 2022, are drastic and many businesses will be affected due to the lack of specialized education and preparation. Especially in the small and medium size enterprises (SMEs), companies will have to train their employees on sustainable fashion and textiles with specialized trainings that often require high costs.

In this scenario, Re-Fashion Project aims at helping SMEs and consumers to cope with the expected legal and market challenges in the fashion and textiles industry, by increasing their capacity and knowledge through awareness and education, also impacting on both sides of the textile  sector:  manufacture and consumption. Re-fashion wants to: fill a gap in the VET education dealing with sustainability knowledge and competences within the fashion and textiles sector, develop green sectorial skills and prepare learners, companies’ staff and consumers to become agents of change, by encouraging more responsible behaviours and more sustainable production and consumption patterns.
