Fashion School selected as a Learning Labs for 2022/23!

The Lottozero project Fashion School has been picked as one of the Creative Flip Learning Labs in time for the European Year of Youth (EYY2022).

Learning Labs are cross-sectoral projects between organisations of the cultural and creative sphere on the one hand, and local primary and secondary schools on the other. A diverse group of 15 Creative Facilitators and their LLabs, representing different sectors such as Architecture, Design & Fashion, Visual Arts, Performing Arts, Media and Press, Audio-visual and Cultural Heritage & Museums, was selected by the jury in mid-June.

Lottozero is partnering up with South Tyrolean Art School "Walther von der Vogelweide" to implement the 8 month Fashion School project which has the goal to help the students go from having a very generic idea about what they want to do in life (something related to art), to actually taking the steps towards a successful (and profitable) career that heavily involves and shines a light on their creative talent.

Art students are interested in making a living from their art and creativity need to be demonstrated right direction: Fashion production allows the daily use of artistic talent, creative mindset and manufacturing skills. In this area we find all those professionals who contribute to the research, creation and production of the product.

We have the ambition to help create future fashion professionals, who at the same time have high job satisfaction. Among the most in-demand figures at this particular time are profiles that straddle many professional fields being able to combine technical skills, creativity and an expanded humanistic vision.

The program will officially kick-off in September with the beginning of the new school year and run until May 2023.
