Slow Fiber pledges to promote a culture of sustainable textiles and the incorporation of new skills profiles responding to green and digital skills needs in schools of all levels through a itinerant educational programme that combines sensory experience with technical training. Following the first pilot experiences delivered in Piedmont, Slow Fiber intends to roll out its project nationwide, establishing collaborations with schools and potential partners to support costs and extend the initiative’s reach. The project includes:

  • hands-on workshops to recognise fibres through touch, sight and smell;
  • awareness-raising activities on the textile supply chain;
  • training modules on the environmental and social impact of textiles;
  • first-hand accounts from companies and professionals within the network.

Slow Fiber target is to engage at least 50 schools across different Italian regions, reaching students from primary school to university, through a structured programme of sustainable textiles education.
