The partners of “FORWARD: Fashion, Crafts and Design for Women Empowerment” have compiled a set of common guidelines for an innovative pathway in the fashion, design and crafts sector. A collaborative output between the partner organisations, this document aims to serve as a guide for the design and production of future training programmes with set principles of social inclusion and women empowerment.
Divided into seven chapters, this document introduces each partner organisation and describes the specificities of their respective training programmes, as well as goals, target groups and outcomes. It also includes research on European and Italian, Romanian and Portuguese Cultural Policies related to Education, Fashion, Design and Crafts, presenting statistics, governmental measures and strategies.
