Meeting in Syros Greece

The dates for the Greek meeting have now been fixed and they are 11th and 12th July. I think that we agreed that Sara and Ally were the 'lucky' ones to visit a Greek Island. Can you confirm asap that this is ok. Anyone else can attend but unfortunately at their own expense.(We are looking at cheap accommodation etc) Please let me know as soon as possible who may be interested.

New Date for Liverpool Workshop

We are now meeting at 2:00pm on the 25th May. As this is very close to the meeting in Turkey and it is important that we have some concrete ideas and designs for Beccy and Kenneth to show could you please bring work with you that they can take with them and any support material, notes, photographs etc.

Chic and Ethic Grundtvig Project

“Chic and ethic” project is the initiative of seven European partners that have complementary expertise in adult education and in the fields of sustainability, textile, clothing and design industries. The 7 partners come from different backgrounds: from the academic area (Poland), from the civil society area (Romania, Greece), from the private sector (UK and Italy), from the public sector (Turkey and Lithuania). The project “Chic and ethic” aims to contribute to the promotion of sustainable values and tools in the design/clothing industry at European and national levels. “Chic and ethic” project is built around 36 small/innovative/prospective designers that will be informed, non-formally trained on sustainability and that will “learn by doing” sustainable clothing design. During the workshops, the small/prospective designers will debate among themselves and with the partners’ staff about the stakes and tools of sustainable design. Throughout the project, the 36 adult learners will create sustainable clothing items. A final fashion show will be organized in Bucharest.
