The project was sparked by an international team of leading professionals in the field of sustainable education and social innovation, desiring to enrich our societies with agency, trust, and enthusiasm. At its heart, the Academy uses an interdisciplinary approach to address the topic of climate change and sustainable fashion via different methodological, didactic, and visual tools to enable a critical reflection on the latter. Through the project, participants are empowered to find holistic and innovative solutions to address the climate crisis and other local environmental challenges, while enriching their practical knowledge of topics related to sustainable fashion.
