Exciting News from Creative Spark!

We are thrilled to announce that Creative Spark has been selected as one of the 10 Learning Labs for the Sustainable Fashion Co-Creational Project starting January 2025!

This initiative brings together inspiring professionals and organisations across Europe to work with local schools, fostering innovation in sustainable fashion while educating students on Intellectual Property Rights.

Through this incredible project, we aim to empower the next generation to make greener, more sustainable choices and contribute to a brighter future.

Why the focus on Sustainable Fashion?

Discussions around sustainable fashion have reached both European and national levels. The fashion industry is the world’s third most polluting industry after fossil fuels and agriculture. Overconsumption, driven by the increasing popularity of cheap, low-quality fashion products from fast fashion chains, is a major contributor to this issue. Additionally, environmental and human rights issues in textile manufacturing have long been overlooked. The EU leads efforts to shift from fast fashion to circular fashion and social sustainability.

By integrating sustainable fashion practices into educational settings, these Learning Labs aim to empower young people to become advocates for a more sustainable, greener, and just future, instilling early awareness, encouraging sustainable practices, and highlighting the fashion industry's impact on both people and the planet.
