AlpTextyles - Interreg Alpine Space Project

🗺️ UNESCO’s International Day for the Intangible Cultural Heritage AlpTextyles celebrates the living knowledge woven into our textile traditions — the skills, gestures, and collective intelligence passed from hand to hand. These practices are more than heritage; they are evolving systems of care and resilience, shaping a more circular future for our craft and industry and inspiring more sustainable lifestyles. At #AlpTextyles, we see textiles as bearers of memory and innovation — living archives of technique, material, and meaning. By supporting bottom-up solutions and community-driven, collaborative approaches, we strive to keep this heritage alive not as nostalgia, but as a resource for sustainable transformation. Knowledge isn’t static. It’s made and remade every day — through collaboration, experimentation, and the quiet persistence of intertwining cultures.

🪢 We’re proud to share that the #AlpTextyles Final Event has been included in the UNESCO list of initiatives for the International Day of the Intangible Cultural Heritage: https://lnkd.in/drDDgEAy Next week, on October 21, we’ll be in Lyon at the Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes headquarters for “Following the Thread” — our closing event dedicated to sharing the results achieved and fostering dialogue among textile stakeholders, institutions, artisans, and designers. Discussions will explore how the knowledge developed over three years can inform scalable, viable economic models, bridging the artisanal and industrial scales, with a special focus on the link between craftsmanship and tourism. We’ll also present the latest additions to our Living Exhibition, including the new project banner, the #Metaverse, #MOOC, and key materials such as the Orientation Guide for SMEs, Heritage Toolkit, and Policy Brief. 📍 October 21 | Hôtel de Région, Lyon 🔗 Info and registration: https://lnkd.in/dDHe8ZiW Interreg Alpine Space Interreg Europe EUSALP #Interreg #InterregAlpineSpace #MadeWithInterreg #MadeWithAlpineSpace #AlpineSpace #AlpTextyles #IntertwiningCultures #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #TextileHeritage #AlpineProducts #Collaboration #Innovation #DigitalTool #Digitization #Craftsmanship #UNESCO #Tourism Polo Poschiavo ZRC SAZU – Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts  emlyon business school emlyon Lifestyle Research Center Razvojna agencija Sora / Development Agency Sora  Regione Lombardia Confindustria Moda  BELLISSIMO Marangoni Istituto TECHTERA Stand Montafon  Mediplant FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg

👏 On September 30, our Robin Oddon from TECHTERA participated in the “INTERREG 2021-2027 Seminar: Assessment, Valorisation, and Outlook in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes,” held at the Hôtel de Région in Lyon organized by Region Aura. The seminar was a great opportunity to showcase how local resources, innovation, and collaboration can support sustainable regional economies across the Alpine space: https://lnkd.in/dbTRNKAn As a panelist in the session “Local Resources, Drivers of the Future: What Interregional Opportunities for a Sustainable Regional Economy?”, Robin emphasized the capacity of AlpTextyles to address resource management and create added value in the Alps by drawing on local specificities such as resources, know-how, culture, and heritage. The discussion also highlighted our pilot action on natural dyes and the importance of Interreg programmes in engaging public authorities in collaborative partnerships that link micro and macro perspectives — with wool valorization as a concrete example. In the interactive workshops, we focused on generating ideas to strengthen the Interreg framework, from involving newcomers in the programme to enhancing the dissemination, transfer, and impact of project results — which reconnected to AlpTextyles’ achievements including: 🌿 Natural dyes from Alpine plant extracts 📘 Orientation guide for SMEs and Toolkits for safeguarding Alpine textile heritage 🎓 MOOC on the living textile heritage of the Alps 📝 Policy brief for evolving public policies 🤝 Community events for co-creation and knowledge transfer Speaking of results, the AlpTextyles Final Event is only a few weeks away! We are looking forward to welcoming you to this celebratory day of inspiring roundtables, networking, and exhibitions. 📍October 21 | Hôtel de Région, Lyon Info and registration: https://lnkd.in/dDHe8ZiW Interreg Alpine Space Interreg Europe EUSALP #Interreg #InterregAlpineSpace #MadeWithInterreg #MadeWithAlpineSpace #AlpineSpace #AlpTextyles #IntertwiningCultures #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #TextileHeritage #AlpineProducts #Collaboration #Innovation Polo Poschiavo ZRC SAZU – Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts  emlyon business school emlyon Lifestyle Research Center Razvojna agencija Sora / Development Agency Sora  Regione Lombardia Confindustria Moda  BELLISSIMO Marangoni Istituto TECHTERA Stand Montafon  Mediplant FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg

🌍 October 6, Bucharest: AlpTextyles at Romanian Creative Week We are pleased to share that #AlpTextyles will join Romanian Creative Week with our Cassiano Luminati as a speaker at the conference on Intellectual Cultural Property Rights in the Creative Industries:  “Creative Research Academy: Drepturi de proprietate culturală intelectuală®️ în industriile creative” 📍Hotel Marmorosch, Bucharest (Romania)  🕘 October 6, 2025 | 6:00 pm The event, organized by the Federația Patronatelor din Industriile Creative (FEPIC – Federation of Employers in the Creative Industries), will explore how biocultural heritage and creative industries intersect — with a focus on the recognition and protection of traditional knowledge and cultural expressions. During the 6:00 pm panel discussion, Cassiano will be in conversation with AlpTextyles friend Monica Boța Moisin, along with Teodor Frolu and Lucian Broscățean, offering insights on the sustainable management of Alpine textile heritage. Their discussion will highlight how cultural heritage can inspire innovative business models, support a circular economy, and strengthen sustainable practices within creative industries. This participation reflects our commitment to the strategic priorities of two EU Strategies: EUSALP and the Danube Region Strategy (EUSDR). These macro-regional frameworks recognize the key role of cultural and creative industries in driving innovation, regional development, and sustainability. By fostering dialogue across regions, initiatives such as AlpTextyles and the Creative Research Academy help build cultural cohesion and economic resilience in Europe. We look forward to meeting you in Bucharest on Monday, October 6, for an inspiring afternoon of cross-European dialogue.
