Metaskills4TCLF partners put theories to the test
Partners of the EU-funded Metaskills4TCLF project, which seeks to equip teachers and trainers with the skills needed to address challenges in the TCLF sectors (Textiles, Clothing, Leather, and Footwear), began to test the co-developed tools during a three-day event in Pirmasens, Germany, hosted by footwear research institute PFI.

The workshop brought together 27 participants from 14 partner organisations in eight countries, following previous meetings to address the skills gaps and how to address these.

All partners contributed to the development of the materials, and engaged in collaborative and creative exercises, from Design Thinking toolkit exploration to storytelling-based curricula development, bringing theory into practice.

The journey continues in January in Igualada, Spain, where the next workshop will build on the insights from Pirmasens.

Partners include tanners’ association COTANCE, Portuguese footwear association APICCAPS, the European Footwear Confederation (CEC) and the Leather Cluster Barcelona.
