Digital & Circular Fashion House is a training project in the field of fashion circular economy, continuous learning and digital competence. The project explores how it is possible to create and develop with using digital solutions and design methods new circular economy innovations, operational models, professions and businesses. The project will increase digital and circular economy skills in the textile and fashion sector and improve the competitiveness of businesses in the region.
Digital & Circular Fashion House brings together companies, educational and research institutions, organizations and other operators closely linked to the project. The common goal is to learn, strengthen and develop business opportunities in the fashion industry, and to build a network of knowledge and collaboration that can effectively serve the needs of companies and abilities to network internationally. The project creates conditions to the new arrival of textile and fashion expertise in North Savo, gives the region international visibility and creates an image of a bold and modern North Savo.
The knowledge and competencies needed in working life are changing and changing rapidly. The Digital & Circular Fashion House project aims to meet the challenges of the future in multidisciplinary environments changes in which the circular economy, digitalization and 3D play an important role. The training model to be created in the project meets the needs of continuous learning.
The Digital & Circular Fashion House project is agile to explore and learn new sustainable ways to operate in the garment industry. This means, for example, utilizing 3D modeling in design, product development and sales. In practice, this enables e.g. prototyping virtual fittings without specific clothing patterns, shortening and enhancing lead-time and saving nature and money. Commercially there would be improvements eg. customization and the use of 3D models in sales. Consumption is also changing. Learning together in close cooperation, openness and sharing will create a sustainable future for the Finnish clothing industry.
The Digital & Circular education model fosters learning within sustainable development, sustainable design and the service economy. Future-oriented co-design, anticipation and the ability to change are at the center of intangible expertise. The Digital & Circular edication model is built on agile experimentation and identification of change needs (foresight and development TP1), operational networking, collaboration and concrete piloting (technology TP2), and utilizing digital operating -and learning environment (TP3). Education and the edication model enables companies, employees and experts to work locally worldwide as well attracts and enables young talents to stay in North Savo region in this restructuring industry sector. The project will create, test and empower new, more sustainable operating models from piloting into to a larger, international scale.
The results of the project are:

Work package 3. CONTINUOUS LEARNING IN A DIGITAL OPERATING AND LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
The measure created a new agile learning and sharing community (Virtual Playground) on the Discord platform. This programme was used as a community platform for activities and learning, where all project participants could network, share material and participate in discussions.
The Virtual Playground discord is used to share learning and presentation materials, support continuous learning and open knowledge sharing between students and experts.
In the operating environment of the textile and clothing industry, digital practices are behind the times, so we encourage our target groups (industry, students) to adopt digital practices and apply them to their own operations. In these ways, we ensure that the industry keeps up with digitalization.
WP3 Impact and effectiveness
