local international ist ein internationales akademisches Austauschprojekt für Modedesigner aus Deutschland und Bangladesch mit Fokus auf Nachhaltigkeit und faire Produktionsmethoden in der Mode- und Textilindustrie. Unser Ziel ist es, junge Modedesigner auszubilden, zu inspirieren und zu ermutigen, Visionäre und Designdenker zu sein.
Mit unseren Projekten hoffen wir, eine Generation von informierten Designern zu schaffen, die Pioniere an der Spitze der Veränderung der Mode- und Textilindustrie sind.
Our 4th project edition, local international °4 social design + crafts set a special focus on crafts and fair production methods within the fashion industry to inspire international co-operations between designers, artisans and participating organisations and to make a contribution to the promotion and preservation of the crafts.
local international °4 was a web-based semester and a digital, international study space with web seminars, video conferences and online on-site visits.
In lectures and specialised workshops, our participants are provided with an insight into the current developments and new research in the areas of sustainability and design, in order to develop their individual creative approaches, concepts, products and collections. We visit production sites and meet with NGOs, designers, artisans, workers and representatives of the fashion and textile industry in Bangladesh and Germany. local international °4, the latest edition, took place as a digital semester from May 2020 to September 2020.
