Who we are

We are committed to driving sustainability in the textiles and fashion industry. Our mission is to develop and implement innovative strategies, tools, and training modules that equip educators, professionals, and industry stakeholders with the knowledge and resources to reduce environmental impact, enhance social responsibility, and embrace circular economy principles.

Through vocational and adult education, we aim to transform industry practices by integrating sustainability into training curricula, fostering collaboration among key players, and ensuring long-term impact beyond the scope of our project. By engaging educators, businesses, policymakers, and NGOs, we work towards a more responsible and sustainable future for the textile and fashion sectors.

Join us in shaping a greener, more ethical industry.
