NEEDLE AND THREAD TO RE-SEW WOUNDS
In 2017, the Cooperativa Sociale Proxima, supporting the particular interest of the beneficiaries of the projects with respect to the sewing activity, decided to start the Social Tailoring laboratory which, in the FARI 6 design (2024/2025) evolves, acquiring a new guise with the intention to expand the training aimed at beneficiaries and the type of proposals implemented.
This is how the ARTE&ORTI PROXIMA laboratory was born: in addition to the creation of fabric products and the tailoring repair service, the production of many other products created by hand with refined artisan techniques.
A PLACE OF SOCIAL REDEMPTION
Where the workshop participants have the opportunity to discuss, share ideas and experiences and grow together through constant learning and assiduous training, thus starting a process of group empowerment and developing personal skills that are important for their own individual path.
WASTE BECOME RESOURCES
One of the techniques used in the tailoring field is that of Patchwork, which consists of sewing parts of different fabrics to obtain unique artisan creations.
“Patch work” is an ancient practice that finds its origins in the idea of sharing. A textile art capable of uniting different stories, cultures, people and obviously fabrics.
By supporting a culture of REUSE through the CREATIVE RECYCLING of fabrics and materials, we transform waste into real resources, creating original products for the person and for the home, with an eye always attentive to ETHICS and ECOLOGY.
A SUSTAINABLE AND USEFUL PROJECT
Support our mission, helping to provide an opportunity for SOCIAL REDEMPTION, INTEGRATION and AUTONOMY to victims of trafficking and serious exploitation, beneficiaries of Proxima projects, through virtuous and responsible consumption of our SOLIDARITY PRODUCTS.
