Circularity for Change is the programme to promote the circular economy by supporting innovative ideas, practices and models in the fashion and furniture/design sectors.
The initiative, which is the result of public-private funding that also involves the European Union and the Fondazione Cariplo, is organised by Info.Nodes in cooperation with Designtech and Startupbusiness.
The project is aimed at students engaged in courses of study in the project areas and offers a series of meetings and tutoring activities to develop ideas, projects, initiatives to support new models of consumption and waste management.
It starts with the circular economy project ideas of the participants, who will be supported in this by the Circularity for Change team. The most innovative ideas will be further developed during the meetings, supported by group work dynamics and the combination of different competences.
A team of experts – including scientists, environmental policy specialists, designers, entrepreneurs and business angels – will provide support and mentoring. This practical approach will help participants transform their ideas into concrete projects, facilitating the transition from theory to realisation.
Circularity for Change is part of NOPlanetB, a programme to combat climate change co-funded by the European Union. The programme has PuntoSud as lead organisation and is supported by Fondazione Cariplo.
The call for applications is open until 14 March 2025 and on this page you can apply and find out about the programme and all the opportunities it offers in detail.
All the physical phases of the programme such as the workshops and the final award evening will be held at the CoFactory spaces of Designtech in Milan. The call for entries is open to students from all over Italy and Europe and has a maximum number of 30 places.
