TRANSITIONS project project aims to nurture the textile and fashion transition to an Industry 4.0 system and a circular economy by developing new learning methods, tools, and practices to help students, young designers, and professionals to face real challenges.

The Transitions partners have developed a modular curriculum for the textile and fashion sector to support the transition towards sustainability and digitalization at three educational levels: VET, Professionals and Higher Education. The Transitions Lab aims to test the modular curriculum across the professional level.

The program has been designed by The Institute of Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC), Elisava School of Design and Engineering, and the Catalan Fashion Cluster (Modacc).
