Did you know that fish skin leather is more than 3 times stronger than cow leather? Its incredible strength becomes visible under the microscope as shown by the amazing quilt work by Carla Stehr.

Did you know that you can make hats, gloves and other accessories from hood fungus? This centuries old-craft, called Amadou, initially widespread across Central and Eastern Europe, has become nowadays endangered. Mycelium is the industrial product building on fibers extracted from fungus, which aims to revive the craft practice of obtaining mushroom leather. But actually how sustainable is this type of leather? Read more about it, here: https://lnkd.in/dtbxGUNH #Sustainique #erasmusplus #textileinnovation #textiles #heritage #crafts #amadou #mycelium

On the 8th and 10th of June we had the pleasure of holding the first two workshops of the GourmetPast project, with 6 teachers from two Romanian schools (Liceul Marin Grigore Tanase din Tartasesti and Colegiul Economic Viilor) and their students. The first workshop focussed on the presentation of the content of the 3 learning modules (Moocs) developed within the project and the second workshop focussed on the recuperation of traditional cooking recipes using approaches from public history. Now students have time to collect cooking recipes and set up their own historical menus before the last workshop and the final cooking contest that will take place in autumn this year. The two workshops have been a particularly stimulating time for us to reflect about looking at local gastronomies from new angles. We therefore thank the teachers and students for their engagement and we will keep you posted about the progress of the project. #gourmetpast #gastronomy #Erasmusplus #localtraditions #innovation

Today it was high time for an exciting meeting with the Sustainique team. We are almost ready to reveal the textile innovations selected for the project! Which of the following textile innovations are you curious about and would like to know more? Vote below :)

What are textile innovations and how can we find more about the degree of sustainability of textile innovations by using a tested method such as the creation of socio-environmental report cards? Soon, we will reveal this, together with 20 examples of textile innovations through the Sustainainique project (Erasmus+). #textileinnovation #research #europeanproject #fashion #sustainability #innovation

Last November we had the pleasure to kick-off the the Sustainique project, funded under Erasmus+ in Romania. Now, we are slowly making progress with developing sustainability cards for 20 selected textile innovations. Soon, these cards will be released online and broadly available to designers, fashion VET schools and professionals looking to broaden their education on sustainable fashion and textiles in Romania, Lithuania and Italy. For more info check out the project details here: https://lnkd.in/deH7ZuHF.  If you are curious to find out more about the textile innovations that we will document, keep an eye on the website.

Last October we had the pleasure to kick-off the the Gourmetpast project, funded under Erasmus+ in Slovenia. Now, we are slowly making progress with the learning modules about different topics related to historical gastronomy. Soon, these modules will be released online and broadly available to VET schools and professionals looking to broaden their education on gastronomy in Slovenia, Romania and Italy. For more info check out the project details here: https://lnkd.in/deH7ZuHF. Soon we will also release the dedicated website of the project, so keep an eye out for updates.
