Fashion Council Germany has launched an education platform which it hopes will change the educational landscape of the industry.
- Named re. FASHION ACADEMY, the platform will provide a wide range of educational opportunities, both physical and digital, to meet the needs of the modern fashion industry.
- The platform is kicking off with webinars—live and on demand, seminars and master classes. This will be gradually expanded to also offer coaching, e-learning and podcasts from the beginning of 2024.
- The project will allow participants to benefit from the latest findings and developments in the fashion industry.
- The first set of courses will be conducted in late autumn/winter 2023/24.
How it Will Work: Fashion Council Germany has been attaching great importance to the fact that the platform not only imparts theoretical knowledge, but is also designed to be practical and future-oriented.
- Experts from various areas of the fashion industry are being invited as lecturers to pass on their knowhow and experience and to give the participants a holistic insight into the industry.
- There would also be coaching offers with which designers and brands can reposition themselves in intensive 1:1 consulting sessions.
- The project will start with a physical offer in Berlin and subsequently Mannheim, but the re.FASHION ACADEMY will not only take place at one or two physical locations.
- For some time, the platform will be available throughout Germany and later even throughout Europe. This will increase access to high-quality education for people from all regions.
- A special highlight of the re.FASHION ACADEMY are the tailor-made educational packages for established brands. Large companies will have the opportunity to receive customised course content and training programs specifically tailored to their needs and challenges.
- Companies can contact the Academy and describe their education needs. The Academy team will then put together a customised programme. The platform thus offers solutions to strengthen the competitiveness of companies and to optimally promote their employees.
Other Highlights: FCG members will also benefit from numerous advantages at the re.FASHION ACADEMY. Talents in the FCG support programmes will receive generous credits to continue their education and professionalisation.
- FCG wants to encourage members and supported talents to promote lifelong learning and advance their professional development, and make a sustainable contribution to the long overdue structural change of the industry.
What They Said:
With the introduction of the re.FASHION ACADEMY, we are setting a milestone in the fashion industry. Our vision is to create an educational platform that appeals to designers and established brands alike and offers the opportunity to continuously learn and realise innovative ideas. We will start with a first offer of exciting educational formats, which we will expand with new courses, partners and experts.
