Also this year Trash Fashion proved to be a very popular programme among children and young people. Girls and boys enthusiastically worked with professional fashion designers to create their own fancy outfits inspired by themes and styles of their choice. Projects helped participants to develop their self-confidence, and promoted a positive body image among them. In some instances, the projects also contributed to improve relationships within communities by forging new relationships between new and older generations based on mutual trust and respect.
I have a passion for fashion now.
