Creative FLIP

As part of the European Creative FLIP program focused on the development of pilot Learning Labs dedicated to sustainable fashion education, Illustrious Lab and #studioabi are collaborating again with the launch of their Learning Lab ‘BLISS LLab - Bridging Learning in Sustainable Styles’. For six months, with a CM2 class (10-11 years old) from the Paris region, BLISS LLab's mission is to introduce sustainable fashion, in all its dimensions, including job profiles and protection of creative rights. Our original and innovative project “Growing our clothes” offers students the opportunity to put themselves in the shoes of apprentice designers and, through active teaching based on questioning, collective experience and manipulation, to explore the living origins of the raw materials of their clothing and, above all, to prepare for the future by imagining alternative and creative ways to dress in harmony with nature. Thanks to the involvement of French innovative actors through loans and donations, such as Interprofession du Chanvre - InterChanvre Nona Source Alterskin? by Alternative Innovation ICTYOS the students have already been able to discover and handle, during the first two sessions that have just ended, very high-quality and even exclusive materials such as fish skin, leather from rice bran, French hemp, but also high-quality materials from the dormant stocks of the largest French know-how houses. This initiatory journey aims to cultivate their own curiosity and relationship with the world, starting with the living world, and to broaden their horizons. The objective is to imagine a collective garden to grow our clothes and grow with them. Sessions 3 and 4 next March are already being prepared, you will find in our upcoming posts and stories the preview of our preparatory work behind the scenes. #Learninglabs #Blissllab #creativeflip #illustriouslab #studioabi007 #textileeducation #innovationinfashion #innovationineducation #alternativeeducation #designinnovation #codesign #fashiondesign #textiledesign #changemarkers #textile #textileinnovation #sustainablefashion #sustainabletextile #creativeworkshops #design #designer

#CulturalDealEU?? Seeking the compass to increase funding for culture ??The Cultural Deal for Europe initiative kicks off with a call for increased EU funding, urging 2% of the next EU budget to be dedicated to culture. “A Cultural Deal for Europe requires funding… I will advocate for the increased funding” said the European Commissioner, Glenn Micallef, in his introduction to the annual policy dialogue held in Brussels. ??Representatives of the three co-organisers of the dialogue - Culture Action Europe, Europa Nostra and the European Cultural Foundation- introduced the ‘Cultural Compass’ initiative, focusing on freedom of expression, heritage protection, and AI’s impact on creative industries. ??"Remember that we can create through culture a perception without any force or battle, we can create narratives through culture” pointed out Marta Cienkowska, Deputy Minister of Culture and National Heritage in Poland. ??
