2/ Professional skills (Mastery of sewing techniques - Confection, repair, reuse in a creative way by valuing raw material & prevent waste)

3/ Marketing & entrepreneurship skills (Business & marketing plan, digital communication, sales techniques, mentoring, visits to Alstom or other work places).

Overall focus on ecological footprint by reusing & recycling textiles, valuing the re-created pieces & seeing the transformation as a preventive method of waste.
