Creative Fashion Recycling

Description

Our project will blend fashion and recycling, showing how waste can be re-purposed, which will provide a vehicle for students to use their imagination and creativity and inspire them to reduce waste. This will include recycling cans/plastic/old fabric into useable materials to create accessories and upcycle clothes.We aim to develop students' creativity, helping them to be more productive, active and resilient to the natural anxiety and uncertainty caused by the pandemic. Studies show that creativity helps people manage their negative emotions in a productive way and reduces depression and isolation. It has also been proven that creativity improves skills such as critical thinking, collaboration and communication, which are underlying skills for entrepreneurship. We have five partners from the UK, Italy, Turkey and Portugal: four schools and a creative partner from the fashion industry. We will directly involve at least 100 students. They are aged 16-18 and include general and vocational students from a range of backgrounds including refugees, asylum seekers and those who need educational support, contributing to a more inclusive school climate. We will organise one transnational project meeting and four LTTAs. The TNM will be a kick off meeting, allowing us to get to know each other face to face, exchange ideas in a free and friendly environment and build strong working relationships which will ensure the success of the project. In LTTAs, students will take part in hands on training session and workshops. They will collaborate with peers from different backgrounds and cultures. This cultural interaction between students will promote creative unity in diversity, with each group learning from each other. This will help to reduce bias towards different nations, which is particularly important with the current political divergence between Europe and two of the partner countries.Results will include a training programme of at least six tutorial videos, an eTwinning project, a webinar, a project website, logo and 4 posters, an evaluation report, two e-magazines, Erasmus corners and creativity clubs. Training will be provided by experts in fashion/local crafts from partner countries. Students will learn about clothing, handicrafts etc form different cultures and blend them with their own. Training sessions will be recorded and freely shared via the project dissemination tools, to reach a wider audience, beyond the end of the project. An eTwinning project will be carried out as a sub project. Students who only take part in local activities can take an active role through international student groups and live events in eTwinning. We will hold a webinar in eTwinning at the end of the project to share our results and inspire other schools. We will set up Creativity Clubs to enable continued use of project resources after the project with new students. Students who take part in the project will gain sustainable skills which they will use throughout their lives and careers. As dissemination tools, we will create a Facebook page, YouTube channel, Instagram account and website. All project news, results and activities will be shared via these. Press and media, external organisations and other schools will be invited to join meetings and exhibitions. The website will have a four language options: English, Turkish, Italian and Portuguese, so more people will benefit from the project results. We will create two e-magazines, one for each year. They will cover project news, student products, local activities and LTTAs. Students will create an Erasmus corner at their schools, a project logo, and 4 project posters, one for in each LTTA. An evaluation report will be written at the end of the project with the contribution of all partners.Our methodology will be activity based and solution oriented as students will develop their skills and learn to look at situations from different angles, open up the possibilities, shape their lives better, and become more healthy, motivated and productive.
