An MTU programme for Kerry secondary school students aims to highlight the importance of sustainable fashion
Over 100 students recently took part in HABERDASHERY, which included sessions with guest speakers - international fashion designer Don O’Neill, and clothing brand founder Paul Galvin.
It’s a two-day programme where senior cycle students redesign, repurpose, and reuse clothing, footwear, bags, and accessories.
A follow-on programme, THE DASH is being run with Keohane Athletic Club.
Educating second level students is a key focus of the Circular Bioeconomy Research Group at Munster Technological University.
Schools or businesses who would like to participate in the HABERDASHERY and/or DASH programmes should contact Eve Savage at [email protected].
