Time: 9.00 - 12.00
Location: Akademikerhuset, Peter Bangs Vej 30, 2000 Frederiksberg, Denmark

Organized by FAOD.

Dive into the wave of sustainability and the EU’s regulatory moon landing! Markus Hatting from Textile Revolution takes you on a guided tour through the green revolution.

With the course, ‘Sustainability and the EU – What will be the new requirements and expectations for designers?’, you as a textile or fashion designer will be guided through the green revolution.

We’ll cover both the big picture through Planetary Boundaries and the broad strokes of the EU, but we’ll also dive into the specific legislation and what it will mean for the expectations of textile designers.

Get familiar with the upcoming requirements and get ready for a future where sustainability is expected to become an integrated part of the design profession.

Certain fees apply: Membership of FAOD: 100 DKK, Student Membership of FAOD/Unemployed: Free, Others: 300 DKK.
