As part of Programme Smart & Heart Rome, promoted with the Department for Digital Transformation of the City of Rome, the Liceo Enzo Rossi will hold a course dedicated to technology for the implementation of a new sustainable supply system for fashion: from ideas to design and ethical production, in respect of the environment.
The 27-hour course, developed with the contribution of the Master’s in Fashion Studies at Sapienza University of Rome, allows students to work on prototyping fashion projects with a low environmental impact through the use of natural or recycled materials and digital manufacturing techniques, with a low cost and little waste.
The course provides students with an opportunity to learn more about the concept of sustainability – both individual and planetary – as part of a unique systemic process and to reflect on their crucial role for fair, aware and sustainable growth, besides developing new skills for professional and research sectors in fast expansion.
