European TCLF partners report progress
Partners of the Erasmus+ Blueprint METASKILLS4TCLF project for the European Textile, Clothing, Leather and Footwear (TCLF) sectors have convened in Poland as part of their aim of addressing gaps and making the sectors more appealing to young workers.

Partners from Belgium, Germany, France, Greece, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Sweden, Spain and Ukraine are setting up a network of education providers and regional alliances, such as regional TCLF Pacts for Skills, led by public-private skills partnerships. 

The new European Virtual Fashion Campus will offer a range of freely accessible learning resources. The project will establish 12 Metaverse Labs where students can explore practical work filmed in real work environments. 

Holiday workshops for children, open days at education centres and national fashion contests are being planned. TCLF finalist students will be invited to Micam Milano trade fair to present prototypes of their designs.
