Zero Waste Fashion Week in Granada Blends Heritage, Creativity, and Eco-Education

DUBLIN - Dec. 4, 2025 - PRLog -- Zero Waste Fashion Week in Granada Blends Heritage, Creativity, and Eco-Education

The EcoFashionProject consortium completed a dynamic international mobility in Granada, Spain, titled Zero Waste Fashion Week: Granada's Heritage Meets Eco-Education. The activity brought together students, teachers, and partner organisations from across Europe for a week of creative sustainability learning, cultural immersion, and hands on fashion innovation. The mobility combined expert led sessions, school based activities, thematic workshops, and heritage visits. Participants explored how traditional Andalusian arts, especially Flamenco fashion and textile craftsmanship, can be reimagined through sustainable principles. Throughout the week, students developed practical skills, produced creative outputs, and collaborated in an intercultural environment.
