SUSTAINABLE
ENTREPRENEURSHIP
IN SMART CLOTHING
SEiSC
The project aims to enhance the ability of vocational training institutions to teach students sustainable entrepreneurial thinking, improving their employability. It connects institutions with sustainable clothing organisations using a cross-sectoral approach through practical simulation scenarios. By utilising AI algorithms and digitisation, adaptive teaching enables teachers to improve their practical skills through active learning methodologies and systems thinking. The project aligns with the EU Green Deal, Digital Education Action Plan 2021-2027, SDG4 “Quality Education,” SDG8 “Decent Work and Economic Growth,” and the European Education Area strategy by 2025. It addresses critical areas and priorities for sustainable development, innovation, digitisation, and inadequate skills, allowing partners to explore, design, and test concepts and products based on recycling, reuse, and waste reduction, contributing to the circular economy, Green Deal priorities, and new digitalised learning pathways for vocational education and training (VET).
The Target
Direct targets
- Vocational Education and Training (VET) institutes in multimedia and fashion, fashion and electronics, technological sector machinery, and electricity-electronics, marketing and advertising.
- Vocational Education and Training (VET) Teachers.
- Vocational Education and Training (VET) Students.
- Companies in the sustainable and smart clothing sector.
Indirect targets
- Society.
- Environment.
- Businesses of all kinds.
Project’s background and needs analysis
The project enables partners to explore, design, and test concepts and products based on recycling, reusing, and reducing waste, contributing to the circular economy, Green Deal priorities and new digitalised learning paths for VET. 4 needs emerge in the EU education systems:
- VET institutions need to adapt their educational offer, practice, and pedagogy to reflect the actual and future needs of the labour market, allowing students to be sustainable and employable. Today’s society is rapidly changing, and the World Economic Forum in 2020 estimated that 40% of people in the labour market will need reskilling and upskilling pathways
- Teachers need updated digital skills to ensure that AI is effective in helping students.
- VET institutions must build relationships with highly innovative business sectors that use sustainable business models aligned with the Circular Economy Action Plan and national and European policies, such as the EU strategy for sustainable and circular textiles (adopted on 30/03/2022).
- VET institutions need to act proactively towards reaping the benefits of the green transition to effectively contribute to the European Skills Agenda for sustainable competitiveness, social fairness and resilience by embedding environmental and social sustainability into their programmes and organisational management, thus contributing to the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Seisc - Sustainable Entrepreneurship in Smart Clothing
From 5 to 8 May 2026, vocational education teachers from across Europe gather in Helsinki for an experiential training on immersive technologies applied to teaching sustainable entrepreneurship. They are the teachers selected among those who completed the SEiSC MOOC, representing the countries of the project consortium.
The week is hosted in Helsinki by LHKK and 3DBear. At the heart of the training sits Agora Lake, the virtual simulation platform developed by OpenCom, which will also lead the session introducing the platform and guiding teachers through the testing.
The programme unfolds along three lines. Day one is devoted to Agora Lake: teachers step into the shoes of their students and work through the adaptive learning path built around a sustainability challenge in the smart clothing sector. Day two turns to the pedagogical escape room, a game-based method teachers can bring back into their own classrooms. Day three opens up the wider toolbox of XR: 360° simulations, AI-driven avatars, VR headsets, virtual learning environments, the building blocks teachers will use to design their own simulation-based lessons.
The point is not to hand teachers a set of technical skills, but to equip them to rethink how they teach, weaving simulation, storytelling and interaction into the fabric of their lessons.

Seisc - Sustainable Entrepreneurship in Smart Clothing
A good business idea is not enough. What makes it sustainable, viable and worth pursuing is what you help your students figure out.
Module 3 of the SEiSC MOOC, developed by LHKK 🇫🇮, focuses on the Business Model Canvas as a core teaching tool, integrating service design principles with the EntreComp and GreenComp frameworks. You will learn to design learning experiences that guide students through responsible entrepreneurship, systemic thinking and the creation of digital content with a real purpose.
Teaching innovation means modelling it. This module gives you the tools to do both.

Smart clothing is not a niche topic. It is where technology, design and responsibility meet, and it is changing the fashion industry faster than most people realise.
Module 3 of the SEiSC MOOC, developed by Praktica Training and Consulting 🇪🇸, introduces you to the foundations of sustainable entrepreneurship through the lens of the smart clothing sector. Using EntreComp, GreenComp and DigCompEdu as your guide, you will develop the skills to help your students think about value creation, sustainability and digital communication in ways that are grounded in a real and growing industry.
Because preparing students for the future means teaching them to see opportunity where others see complexity.

When was the last time your students were genuinely curious about what they were learning?
Module 2 of the SEiSC MOOC, developed by Ortakoy and USR 🇹🇷🇮🇹, focuses on Active and Inquiry-Based Learning as practical tools for VET teachers. You will learn how to design tasks that foster curiosity, critical thinking and problem-solving, connecting real sustainability challenges to your students' daily experience in the classroom.
From guided inquiries to game-based simulations, this module gives you concrete approaches to move beyond traditional instruction and into learning that actually sticks.
