Materials reuse workshop for the creation of clothes and accessories

ANCE and Athens Recycling Refugee Initiative (ARRI), held during the months of April and May, the first cycle of the workshop “We refashion – You rethink”, aiming at the creative involvement and socialization of women refugees living in Greece and at ensuring a small income for them and their families.
Women from Afghanistan, Iran, Algeria, etc, learned, with the help of ANCE’s and ARRI’s volunteers (fashion designers, artists, jewellery designers and others), how to reuse old textiles/clothes, wires, wood and other recyclable materials, in order to create handmade jewellery and to decorate clothes and accessories.

It will be possible to admire these unique creations and to support the women’s efforts in the framework of the following events:
