Welcome to the Shemakes Open Toolkit¶
Empowering future female innovators of the sustainable fashion industry through inspiration, skills and networks. Within the shemakes project we use a three-pronged approach to reach our goals. We provide innovative learning paths for girls and women of various ages, concrete business support and connections, and inspiring stories of female role models.Shemakes.eu blends the approaches of two leading innovation ecosystems – Fabricademy and TCBL - within the textiles and clothing sector and acts to promote, highlight and celebrate the leading role of women in innovation, with the goal of permanently re- shaping the opportunity structures of at least 16 European Member States and Associated Countries.
Here you can find Learning Paths that come from Fabricademy content adapted to different age groups.
- The curiosity path for young girls from 8 to 18 years old
