Who we are
A youth organisation in Seville, formed in 2024. Two founders and members across several countries, with a habit of making things together.
About us →Fashion with a future.
We are a youth organisation in Seville. We work with young people on circular fashion and sustainability, mostly from our atelier. We also run youth exchanges.
We believe the future of fashion is circular. It starts with young people learning to remake what already exists.

What “future skills” actually means
“Future skills” is a general label for the abilities people are expected to need as work and society change. Technology is reshaping how we work, and the climate is adding new pressures on top of that. There is no single official definition. Each organisation or report draws the list a little differently.
Most lists share the same core. Digital and data literacy come up almost everywhere, as do critical thinking and problem solving. Creativity is on nearly every list too, and so is the ability to adapt and keep learning, because specific job skills go out of date quickly. Collaboration and communication appear everywhere. Sustainability competence has been added in recent years.
The EU has its own competence frameworks that Erasmus+ projects often draw on. DigComp covers digital competence and GreenComp covers sustainability. EntreComp covers entrepreneurship and initiative. LifeComp covers personal and social skills and learning to learn. Many youth exchange applications and reports cite these when they describe what participants gain.
In fashion the term is more practical. It covers circular design and the repair and reuse of what already exists. You learn how materials and supply chains work, and you use digital design tools. That combination is what our ateliers teach.
