AEQUALIS4TCLF Project Results Presented at the Exhibition of Student Works of the Clothing Engineering and Design Study Programme

The AEQUALIS4TCLF project addresses the mismatches that exist in the Textile, Clothing, Leather, and Footwear (TCLF) sector within the European Union. The project brings together industry representatives, chambers of commerce, employers’ associations, higher education institutions, and vocational education and training (VET) providers from nine European countries: Serbia, Belgium, France, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Lithuania, Finland, the Netherlands, and Slovenia.

The Faculty of Technical Sciences in Čačak, University of Kragujevac, hosted the opening of an exhibition presenting the works of third-year students enrolled in the Clothing Engineering and Design study programme. The exhibition represents the culmination of their academic and practical training, presenting the entire garment development process – from initial ideas and creative sketches, through theoretical and technical solutions, to the final production of completed garments.

A particularly important aspect of the exhibited works was the application of knowledge and skills developed within the AEQUALIS4TCLF project. During the preparation of the students’ projects, professors drew upon competencies acquired through the development of modern and innovative curricula and micro-credential programmes created within the framework of the project. As a result, students were able to apply innovative digital tools for garment construction and pattern making, as well as principles of sustainable design through the use of recycled materials in the production of their final models.

The exhibition was attended by representatives of garment companies from Čačak, students from secondary schools specializing in textile and garment education, as well as their teachers and mentors. The event was also covered by local media, including a local television station, which reported on the exhibition and presented the achievements of the AEQUALIS4TCLF project to a wider audience.

The exhibition represents not only the final assessment of one generation of students, but also a demonstration of their readiness to meet the challenges of the modern garment industry through the application of innovative technologies, sustainable solutions, and practice-oriented knowledge.
