During the program Crossing Textiles third-year students of Man and Identity from Design Academy Eindhoven will go on a study trip of four days (18-21 November 2012), visiting the Prato textile district. The program includes a visit to companies specializing in textile and garment production made with eco-friendly materials and a visit to the Museum of Textile (Museo del Tessuto, Prato).
The students will also participate in a seminar on knowledge on carded fabric obtained from recycled raw materials that are neutral in terms of CO2 emission. This study trip is an important encounter between the textile district of Prato and Design Academy Eindhoven revolving around environmental sustainability of textile and clothing production.
This study trip has been made possible through the organization of Crossing Textiles (Wanda de Wit) and in cooperation with REMO.
