Thanks to all for the nice meeting yesterday!
Here a brief overview of our Circular Textiles Challenge(s) Group meeting:
- introduction round - we are now a team of 9 people organizing the textile event!
- short overview of the status quo of the CTC Berlin and our global connectors role (contacts so far, ideas for challenges, forum, manual, etc.)
- inspiring presentation by @Ina about the 4-weeks ESMOD Cradle to Cradle Fashion-In-Cycle Workshop which took place in January 2015
- discussion how we can make the challenges most meaningful (learning from other events, application and preparation of the participants for the challenges, getting experts in, contacting companies and asking them about their current challenges, after-event follow-up)
- discussion about the different tasks and roles of the organizers (communication, research, organization, networking, sponsoring, technical questions etc.)
- discussion about the number of participants in the challenges (50 people in Agora on Friday 12th and Saturday 13th of June (i.e. 80 will receive a “ticket”)? - connection to others through online formats)
- discussion how we connect to and learn from other challenges and industries (e.g. waste management, 3D printing, bioplastic industry, composting)
- scheduling of our next meeting on Wednesday, 29th of April, 7pm (location still needs to be confirmed)
I look very much forward to seeing you soon again!
