Over het programma

Greece, as most European countries is home to many fast fashion company. The fashion and textile industries are the second biggest polluter in the world, right after the oil industry, namely affecting water pollution. This is mainly because its volume of production dwarfs most other industries. As if that is not enough, most of garment production has shifted to developing countries, mainly in Asia, in search of cheaper labor, increasing the rates of exploitation of underage children and inhumane working conditions.

Efforts have been made from many well-known brands to start sustainable collections with recycled fabrics, also to share the employee stories and to start donating or upcycling their clothes. Upcycled fashion takes the clothes that would otherwise be thrown away and reinvents them. As a result, clothing is given a new look and a new life, rather than being thrown into the landfill. A practice that is common in fast-fashion brands that refuse to donate or reuse their old collections because they do not wish middle-income groups to have access to their brand.

In this program, the volunteers will be working directly with local non profits that are creating ethically made fashion apparel only from sustainable textiles and materials, and are offering equal employment opportunities to refugees and survivors of human trafficking. These organizations are collecting excess clothing, sorting, disinfecting and distributing them to solidarity organization.

Your role will include manual tasks in the collection factory; communication and coordination support in fashion school workshops and social media support in content creation and filmmaking. Through your participation in this program, you will be directly working for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 12, ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns.

2024 at Youth Supporter

I recommend this experience to absolutely anyone, it was the best of my life. The first week my placement was in a Skatepark in Cascais, so I had to catch a train and then a bus. Although it was good and the commute was fine, I didn't feel comfortable at the beggining so I asked to switch to a ...

2024 at Environmental Scuba Diving

The people working there were really supportive and genuinely wish for you to have a good experience. My first day was an introduction to the area, possibility to get help with the tickets for the public transports and a guided tour of Lisbon. They also have communication chats for you to contact ...

2024 at Animal Care and Protection

Honestly, I was surprised, when on the website it shows photos of so many dogs, animals, it turned out I was working at a cat sanctuary. It's not that I was disappointed by the cats, it was just a shock, and also, at points of the sanctuary I feel like I wasn't apart of it massively, there wasn't ...

2024 at Environmental Scuba Diving

Here’s a more formal and assertive version of your feedback: After months of requesting a detailed schedule for our diving experience, we only received the information after all payments had already been made. To pay €1,500 for a week, only to end up with just four dives, is completely ...

2024 at English Teaching to the community

Unfortunately, my experience was not the best one. The lodging was too far from the project; we had to travel almost two hours to get there. The classes were not organized. After one week, and following my request, I was assigned to a school which was fine but still one hour bus and metro to get ...

2024 at Impact Surf Camp

I would not recommend the Impact Surf Camp program. I thought it was way too expensive for what you get in return. When I was there, early November 2024, I was the only one who had booked the Surf Camp program. At first it was cancelled the day before it started because of the weather, even though ...
