It is a workshop where Italian and foreign young people who may be in need due to social, employment, or personal problems, meet and work together
It is the right place for a business start up of people's products and services as well as restyling and upstyling of used and new clothing. The activities are mainly focused on supporting and improving ethical and charity work, and combating against a global culture of waste.
