The objective of the Crea-Up project is to instill the habits of reusing, repairing and repurposing products within society. By doing so, both consumers and designers will actively contribute to ecological transformation and climate change mitigation.

With this aim, we are building the Creative Upcycling Community with members from France, Portugal, Belgium, and Germany! The partners are already in collaboration with our target group and initial members of the community to join us in this journey are selected by the partners!

These pioneers will join the project in its journey towards creating the Upcycling Community! The selected community members will join us in the ‘’Crea-UP Working Lab’’ activity to be held in Germany. Within the Working Lab; The skills and capacities of the creative community will be developed in the eras of reuse,repurpose and upcycling of waste or useless products.

The Crea-UP Training Content content and materials will be uploaded to the Crea-Up Platform (will become available soon!) and made available free and open to Creative Community members and everyone! 

The purpose of the guides is to equip emerging entrepreneurs in the fields of fashion, furniture, decoration, design and art with comprehensive knowledge and practical strategies pertaining to sustainability. These guides aim to offer a structured and informative resource that empowers individuals to integrate sustainability concepts into their businesses and organizations. By providing insights into areas such as Marketing, Branding, and Business, with a specific focus on sustainability, the guides aim to foster a more environmentally conscious and socially responsible approach to entrepreneurship. The ultimate goal is to enable these entrepreneurs to make informed, sustainable decisions that contribute to a more eco-friendly and ethically driven business landscape.
