Join us at the Transnational Transitions Conference to discover the results of the EU-funded Transitions Project and network with experts to discuss the importance of adopting a systemic approach to face the textile and fashion industry´s planetary challenges.
The Transitions Project has mapped out the key skills and knowledge to develop a modular curriculum and a toolkit that supports the transition towards a more sustainable textile and fashion ecosystem in both academic and professional contexts.
We will address critical questions such as:
– Which approaches and strategies can we adopt to go beyond sustainability?
– How can digitalization be integrated into my design, production, distribution, and commercialization processes to generate impact while respecting the planetary boundaries?
– How can partnership help my business become more efficient and reduce the impact of the materials I use?
The conference brings together innovators, researchers, educators, policymakers, designers, and professionals leading the sustainable transition. Do not miss the opportunity to learn about their latest projects and best practices shaping the future of the textile and fashion sector!
