The project we undertook was primarily aimed at creating a space for young people to become initiators, creators and ambassadors of activities related to responsible fashion, consumer awareness and care for the environment. Already at the proposal stage, it was emphasised that it was not just about organising a series of events, but about enabling young designers to participate in a real way in the important global issue of climate change. It was the young people who were to take on the role of leaders, with the Foundation merely supporting them and creating the conditions for them to develop their ideas, gain experience and show the results to the wider community. The project was a response to the need to involve young people in the discussion on climate change and consumption, as well as to the lack of similar initiatives in the local community – in Iława and the Warmia and Mazury region. The main objective of the project was to raise young people's awareness of the impact of the clothing industry on the environment and to develop pro-environmental attitudes that would translate into concrete actions – reducing consumption, promoting upcycling and using artificial intelligence in the creative process. The specific objectives covered several levels. Firstly, it was about peer education – young designers, training to become fashion industry technicians, had the opportunity to take on the role of trainers and animators, conducting a series of twelve workshops for secondary school students. This not only deepened their own knowledge, but also developed their soft skills: communication, teamwork and public speaking. Secondly, the project aimed to involve the local community – workshops, shows and debates were designed to raise awareness among residents that fashion and climate are closely related issues and that every consumer has a real impact on the future of the planet. Another goal was to develop the creativity and innovation of young designers through the use of new technologies. As part of the physical events, young people developed projects for a ‘second life for clothes’ using artificial intelligence tools, combining traditional sewing techniques with modern digital solutions. This allowed them not only to learn the practical applications of AI, but also to think about their professional future in an open and flexible way. It was also important to develop the habit of taking a critical look at the fashion industry and the mechanisms of fast consumption – hence the debates, quizzes, memory games about labels and design exercises that taught conscious choice and responsibility. An equally important goal of the project was to build a sense of agency among young people and convince them that their voice in the climate debate matters. The young designers repeatedly emphasised that until now they had felt marginalised – their ideas and concerns were not heard by the wider community. The project gave them a space to appear in public, present their collections at fashion shows and gain recognition not only from their peers, but also from local authorities, the media and residents. The fashion show organised in March 2025 was the culminating moment when the project's goals materialised in the most spectacular form. The audience could see the concrete results of the young people's work: second-hand clothes, bags made from a single pair of jeans, and collections inspired by the idea of responsible fashion. The project also had an integrative and educational goal – through working together, the young people developed their ability to cooperate, build trust and solidarity. Of particular importance was the fact that the workshops were conducted in a peer education format – young designers shared their knowledge with their peers, making the message authentic and credible. The project's objectives also fitted into the broader context of European priorities – climate protection, sustainable consumption and strengthening the voice of young people in public debate. By supporting young people in implementing their ideas, the beneficiary contributed to the creation of a model that can be replicated in other communities: young people as leaders in climate and design education, and adults as supporting partners. It is worth noting that the project's objectives were not only achieved but, in many respects, significantly exceeded. In addition to the planned activities,there were also additional initiatives that were not included in the application.Competitions were organised for workshop participants, which increased the attractiveness of the classes and the motivation to actively participate.During the final events,two additional fashion shows were held,which allowed the project's ideas to be further disseminated and new audiences to be reached.The number of participants in the physical events was twice as high as expected, and the promotional activities on social media generated a wide response that exceeded the local scale.
