As the consortium of the CREATE project, our commitment is driven by the urgent need to address the sustainability crisis in the fashion industry. Recognizing the industry's significant environmen...

Our objectives are centered around empowering women, fostering sustainability in the fashion industry, and promoting circular fashion. We aimed to provide women, especially those of vulnerable state such as migrants and refugees, with the opportunity to develop entrepreneurial and transversal skills. This empowerment includes enhancing their ability to use cultural heritage symbols innovatively in their designs, thus finding unique niches and ensuring economic stability. Our project focuses on building stronger life and social competences among women, promoting a sense of initiative, entrepreneurship, and critical thinking. We believe that by equipping women with these skills, we can help them progress toward better positions in life and work. At the local, regional, national, European, and international levels, our project raised awareness on several critical issues. These include women's empowerment, the importance of sustainable and circular fashion, and the role of women as agents of change in creating a greener industry. By highlighting the harmful impacts of fast fashion, we aim to transform the fashion sector into a more sustainable and ethical domain.
