Témoignage : Taking part in the Erasmus+ project “European Schools for a Sustainable Fashion” has been an amazing and inspiring experience for me. I have learned a lot about sustainable fashion, different cultures and how people from other countries work and think in creative ways.

During our exchange trip to Italy, we visited a second-hand market. It was really interesting to see how much people care about reusing clothes and living in a more sustainable way. We also did some fun activities, like drawing, that helped us understand how fast fashion can harm the environment. While we were in Italy, we didn’t only learn more about sustainable fashion through group work and workshops; we also had the chance to explore the beautiful city of Rome. I loved walking through the streets, seeing the amazing buildings, and learning about the history and culture of Rome. It was both fun and educational. After coming back from Italy, we worked with a local shop in Luxembourg to create a mural. The mural shows the bad side of the fashion industry, alongsidesome solutions for a sustainable fashion and is now on displayat the shop. It felt great to work together as a team and to leave something creative and meaningful in our own community. I’m proud that our work is now shared with others.

This project has helped me grow in many ways. I’ve learned how to better work in a team, share ideas and listen to others. I’ve also made new friends from different countries, which has made the experience even more special. I am very excited for the next workshops and visits we will be doing. I’m looking forward to learning even more, meeting new people and continuing this journey. Being part of this project makes me feel hopeful about the future and proud to be involved in something meaningful.

I highly recommend taking part in an Erasmus+ project. It’s a great way to learn new things, meet people from different cultures and grow personally. It’s an unforgettable experience that can truly inspire and open your mind.
