What is CommunityCloth?
CommunityCloth is an Erasmus+ project proposed by Barbot Bernardo/Saber Fazer, which has Alternative Brains Rule and Smuss Studio as partners.
The project focuses on developing new community learning models and fostering sustainable farm-to-cloth textile production. It will create tools, provide knowledge, and build a network of educators who can implement cost-effective programs in this area. The project's primary focus will be on wool and natural dyes, serving as a practical test for the proposed learning model.
Open Call:
