Athens Place Lab

The Athens place lab is a network of organisations active in Greece sharing a common goal: to investigate the local and social dimensions of clothes making, with new modes of organisation of work. The network currently operates informally, with the Hellenic Clothing Industry Association having the coordinator's role.

The Lab organises awareness raising / promotional events with other organisations involved in the social aspect of the fashion industry. E.g. participation in Fashion Revolution events organised in Athens. Main target is NGOs and the general public. These events address social aspects such as ethical manufacturing, waste water management, environmental pollution, etc.

The lab also provides consultancy and training for interested parties in circular economy aspects, mainly targeting SMEs, NGOs, and independent designers.
