Ecological Design

Sustainable fashion is a trend that has developed against the understanding of fast fashion in the fashion industry and aims to change the fashion products and system by defending ecological integrity and social justice. It is an approach that deals not only with the product, but also with the social, cultural, ecological and financial systems that fashion is associated with.

We concluded that the subject of fashion is a good way to gather young people to discuss the topic of style, dress code, history of fashion, national costumes of the participating countries, using different non-formal tools. This topic in our opinion do not require special knowledge from the participants and in the same way, is an excellent way for intercultural learning, especially for the participants with fewer opportunities.
At the end of the mobility participants will organize a fashion show with their designed dresses.
