Modern fast fashion, leading to excessive pollution of the environment, is a problem we are rarely aware of. In a series of initiatives with young people from different schools in Shumen, we tried to give visibility to this topic and together with young people to find creative solutions, changing our daily habits. 

This is the project “Green ReDesigners”, an idea of Podobri Foundation and “528 Society” Association. In the programme of the event, textile drop-off points and free clothes exchange areas were organised in schools. The collected amount was used as a resource for the creative recycling academy. Many young people took part and gained skills and basic knowledge about types of cutting, cutting and sewing, how to select and combine fabrics. The main task after learning new skills was for each participant to present their finished outfit at the final event of the project.
