Partners:
The project is developed in partnership with the Municipality of Milan (Welfare and Social Policies Directorate), TheColorSoup, and DADS.IT, with support from Fondazione Sozzani, Fondazione Teatro Donizetti, The Blink Fish, and Noloso Milano.

Objective:
To support young people in overcoming the educational challenges caused by the pandemic, helping them gain new skills and engage in creative and hands-on activities.

Methodology:
Workshops: Monthly workshops guided by industry professionals in fashion, textiles, and visual communication. The workshops, divided into three six-month cycles, combined practical training with discussions and feedback sessions.
Creative Development: At the end of each cycle, participants created capsule collections of clothing and accessories using fabrics printed with their own designs.
Real-World Collaboration: Participants collaborated with professional partners, such as The Color Soup (for fabric printing) and DADS.IT (for production).

Key Results:
Over 20 participants, aged 15-20, engaged in workshops and collaborative projects.
The resulting clothing and accessory collections were presented in public events and sold to fund the project.

Impact:
Empowering youth with practical skills and creative expression.
Strengthening social connections and boosting the confidence of participants.
Providing opportunities for professional collaboration and engagement with the fashion and design industries.
Offering a model for combining education, creativity, and professional development.
Helping participants build a stronger link between their education and future career prospects.
