Collaboration from a design perspective

Elective courses at advanced level: Collaboration course in sustainable textile and fashion design.

Collaboration from a design perspective

The aim is to develop a new elective course on advanced level based on experience and knowledge from the current collaborative project between the Swedish School of Textiles and the UN, with a focus on collaboration and sustainability from a design perspective, which will be given twice over a three-year period at the design department at the Swedish School of Textiles, University of Borås.

Start date: 2024-12-01

End date: 2027-11-30

The course will collaborate with the Swedish textile industry and each course session can result in a production of a maximum of 85 pieces of a smaller product that can be added to the existing guide collection at the UN for daily use.

Collaboration from a design perspective and the 17 global goals for sustainable development are the starting point in the courses for design and production challenges. Through the three parties in the project's collaboration; the Swedish School of Textiles (academy), Swedish textile production (business) and the United Nations (global intergovernmental organization), there are opportunities for unique development of and new solutions for sustainability issues in practice within the textile and fashion sector for students and producers.
