Fashion Forward: Sustainable Fashion in Practice hands-on workshops bring together the expertise of two ERASMUS+ projects: IMASUS and CYANOTYPES.

IMASUS (Imagineering Sustainability) is a practice-based framework that bridges academic research on sustainable fashion materials with the practical needs of fashion practitioners. It aims to enhance their access to, understanding of, and integration of these materials into sustainable fashion design practices.

CYANOTYPES is a unique pan-European project, dedicated to reimagining the competence ecosystems within the Cultural and Creative Industries. This project brings together a diverse community of organizations, stakeholders, and European networks to address the evolving needs and skills gaps in the CCI sector.
