OUR PROJECTS

CreativeWear PLUS builds on the outcomes of the MED CreativeWear project that in the years 2016-2019 brought a new attention to creativity, design, and artisans for territorially rooted productions in Textile & Clothing (T&C)

At that time 5 Creative Hubs pooled together artists, designers and creatives with T&C businesses in 4 MED countries like Italy, Spain, Slovenia and Greece. The experimentations led to the so-called CreativeWear Model, a model for creativity boosted T&C creations that was firstly extended to seven new Creative Hubs with an Open Call in 2018. After the end of the project in 2019, the Creative Hubs joined the network of TCBL Labs.

Now the new CreativeWear PLUS project will have 3 original CreativeWear partners from Italy and Greece pair up with 3 new Hubs in Portugal, France and Bosnia, to further extend and apply the CreativeWear network. Stronger focus on sustainable fashion in the context of the Circular Economy will highlight how Mediterranean creativity, design heritage and T&C knowledge can contribute to green innovation.

On this project CEDECS-TCBL will be the subcontractor of the Greek partner, CRE.THI.DEV., which it will assist in transferring the experience of the ART HUB from Athens to France, to the PRISME Cooperative of Activities and Entrepreneurs, which is the French partner of the project in charge of the creation and animation of a CreativeWear Hub in Montélimar, France.
