As a representative of AMD Berlin, I had the privilege of participating in an Erasmus BIP program, a collaborative effort between METU, SAPIENTIA, and AMD Akademie Mode und Design. I joined the project with a colleague and ten students, many of whom were visiting Budapest for the first time. Over five dynamic days, we explored the complexities of circular fashion and its relationship to sustainability in the European context. The program was filled with engaging workshops, discussions on EU strategies, and case studies on sustainable fashion models. We worked together to understand the challenges and opportunities of circular design, from overproduction in fast fashion to the importance of transparency in the fashion industry. Through group projects, film screenings, and hands-on workshops, we gained a deeper understanding of how small brands can thrive in a sustainable fashion market while contributing to the larger EU goals of circularity. The experience was both enlightening and empowering, offering fresh perspectives on the future of fashion.
