In accordance with the application, we managed to create tools which provide the way for young people to enter the fashion industry and youth workers to maximise their time and resources looking for upgrading their competences especially in the fashion industry shifting their focus on greener and more sustainable procedures. Our objectives were to provide new study materials about new environmental challenges for the textile (quality, ecodesign, sustainability, recyclation, upcycling, waste management, social network knowledge and skills to support own brand and business etc.). We supplemented these with a set of short videos with sustainability and eco-design in their work, can inspire the next textile and clothing generation. All project results are to find on a new pop up workspace platform.
