University of Galway IdeasLab in partnership with the Higher Education Authority, is launching Fast Fashion Summer Camp from 22nd – 25th August 2023. Fast Fashion Summer Camp is for second level students in Transition Year and Senior Cycle who want to solve everyday sustainability problems in extraordinary ways.
The 4-day free camp will focus on the theme of ‘Dilemma of Sustainability in Fashion’ and will develop the entrepreneurial and innovation mind set of participants using tools such as design thinking and the lean canvas. The camp will be a positive environment for young entrepreneurs to develop, test and pitch their ideas.
Speaking about the camp Natalie Walsh, Director of Entrepreneurial Development in University of Galway IdeasLab, said: “We have worked with multiple schools across the region in recent years and have been so impressed with their enthusiasm and innovation, the Fast Fashion Summer Camp gives us the opportunity to broaden out our programme offerings to 2nd level students in and around Galway and work with future innovators on a topic that has impacted upon all of our lives. We are so excited to launch this programme and work with students to tackle sustainability problems that they are facing in their homes, schools and communities”
The camp will run daily from 10:00am – 3:00pm from the 22nd –25th August 2023 with IdeasLab on the University of Galway campus. Places are limited and the summer camp is free to attend.
