Old clothes turned into new pieces: students at the Ungheni vocational school learned upcycling in a European circular-fashion project

In May and June, the Ungheni vocational school hosted two creative workshops — „Cercul inovativ al tradiției” and „Firul memoriei” — in which participants gave a second life to old clothes and made objects from recycled materials. The workshops were brought in by ZIPHOUSE, Chișinău's creative and fashion-industry hub, through TEX-DAN, an initiative of the European Interreg programme dedicated to the circular economy in textiles. For a school that trains tailors and garment makers, it is a bridge between the core trade and one of the most pressing environmental problems of our time: fashion-industry waste.
