On April 24th at 16:00 CET, the STITCH project will host its second international webinar, titled “Sustainable Fashion in Action – STEAM Approaches for the Classroom”.
Following the strong interest and participation in the first session, this new webinar represents a crucial step forward: it moves from conceptual exploration to practical pedagogical implementation, offering educators concrete tools to integrate sustainability into their daily teaching practice.
From vision to classroom practice
One of the central challenges in sustainability education is transforming awareness into structured, meaningful learning experiences. While sustainable fashion is widely discussed as a global issue, it often remains at a theoretical level within educational contexts.
This second STITCH webinar directly addresses this gap by focusing on how sustainability can become a tangible, interdisciplinary classroom experience. Building on the foundations introduced during the first webinar, the session explores how the STITCH Educational Model can be effectively implemented in lower secondary education.
The STITCH approach
Developed within the framework of the Erasmus+ KA220-SCH project STITCH (2025-1-IT02-KA220-SCH-000353351), the STITCH model promotes an integrated approach to learning that combines:
-
scientific knowledge
-
creative processes
-
digital tools
-
critical thinking
This holistic methodology positions sustainable fashion not only as a topic of discussion, but as a pedagogical tool capable of fostering responsible consumption behaviours among young learners.
What the webinar will offer
The webinar is designed as a practical and applied training session for educators. Participants will be guided through concrete examples and replicable methodologies that can be directly transferred into the classroom.
Among the key elements of the session:
-
Practical STEAM-based activities focused on sustainable fashion
-
Interdisciplinary lesson structures connecting physics, chemistry, art, technology and civic education
-
Inquiry-based learning strategies that place students at the centre of the learning process
-
Micro-learning approaches for designing short and impactful sustainability modules
-
Tools to explore key concepts such as fast fashion, materials, production chains and circular economy
-
Assessment approaches for sustainability competences and transversal skills
-
Replicable classroom scenarios adaptable across different European educational contexts
Target audience
The webinar is addressed to:
teachers, school coordinators, curriculum developers, educators and training professionals interested in integrating sustainability into their teaching in a concrete, structured and innovative way.
A pedagogical shift
The STITCH project demonstrates that sustainable fashion can become much more than a thematic topic. It can act as a driver for interdisciplinary learning, enabling the development of scientific reasoning, creativity, digital literacy and civic responsibility.
By connecting STEAM education with sustainability challenges, the project contributes to European priorities related to the green transition, competence-based education and innovation in teaching methodologies.
Join the webinar
Educators and professionals are invited to take part in this session and explore how STEAM methodologies can transform sustainability into an active, measurable and engaging learning experience.
