The FairFashion Erasmus+ Project addresses critical challenges in the fashion and textile industry by enhancing HEI education through a focus on sustainability, digital innovation, inclusive entrepreneurship, and leadership. This project equips educators with the tools and resources they require, to then empower university-level fashion and textiles students with the practical skills and knowledge necessary to lead the industry into a sustainable and inclusive future, aligned with European standards.
Project Highlights:
- Needs Addressed: The fashion industry faces pressing environmental challenges, significant digital skill gaps, and gender imbalances. FairFashion bridges these gaps by embedding cutting-edge green and digital practices into educational curricula.
- Resources Created:
- A Twin-Transition Toolkit with case studies and practical strategies for teaching sustainability and digital technologies.
- Interdisciplinary Bootcamps for hands-on learning, combining fashion, technology, and business.
