TEXTIL4ALL Opportunities in the textile sector for people and the planet

Funded by the Spanish Service for the Internationalisation of Education (SEPIE) through the ERASMUS+ programme. With a budget of 60,000 euros and a duration of 19 months, the initiative aims to offer training and job opportunities to people with more difficulties in accessing a job, with a special focus on women in San Cristobal de los Angeles in Madrid (Spain) and Thessaloniki (Greece). Led by the non-profit association Education, Culture and Solidarity (ECYS), and formed by a consortium between the Greek Envolve and the Finnova Foundation Belgium, TEXTIL4ALL targets the textile sector, which faces much criticism for its environmental impact and lack of social responsibility. The initiative has two main objectives: to give access to training and employment to social sectors seeking job opportunities, recognising their integral value in society; and to promote a more sustainable textile industry committed to current environmental challenges, addressing issues such as ‘fast fashion’ and its negative consequences.
