About STC

  • The fashion and textile world is shifting - fast. More and more people are realizing the impact of fast fashion, textile waste, and unsustainable production. But change doesn’t just happen. It starts with us - our habits, our choices, and our actions. That’s where the Sustainable Textile Counselor (STC) comes in.

    STC is an Erasmus+ initiative that brings together a powerhouse of European experts, educators, and changemakers to redefine how we buy, wear, and think about textiles.

  • We’re here to change consumer habits - to move from mindless shopping to mindful choices. STC is all about giving professionals, educators, and everyday consumers the tools they need to transform the fashion industry from the inside out. Whether you’re a teacher, a designer, a business owner, or just passionate about sustainability, this program will help you make a real impact.

  • Our diploma program is for anyone who wants to be part of the solution! Whether you’re:

    - A fashion professional looking to integrate sustainability into your business.
    - A community worker who wants to inspire sustainable habits in local groups.
    - An educator or trainer seeking to teach the next generation about ethical textiles.
