Abstract/Hauptbeschreibung (Englisch)

After several attempts, the Scientific Engineering Union for Textiles, Garment and Leathers was given the oppotunity to coordinate cooperation in the field of primary textile techniques.One of the essential features of collaboration lies in the diversity of participants. Nine partners from 4 countries participate in the project: Bulgaria, France, Turkey and Serbia. The organizations represent three groups of educational institutions. University units include the textile departments of the New Bulgarian University in Sofia, the Istanbul Technical University and the Leskovac Faculty of Technology.Specialized secondary education is represented by the PGTO “Dobri Zhelyazkov” and the National Art School “Dimitar Dobrovich” in Sliven, and the PGD “Ivan Vazov” in Velingrad. A unifying element in vocational training for adults is the “Tissage d’Art et formation” training workshop in Penne d’Agenais and the Centre of vocational training at FNTS in Sofia. The main idea of the upcoming work is to extract and descriptively express the primary textile techniques, as an indispensable prototype of the contemporary variety of processes and operations in textile technology. Such techniques in spinning are the formation and twisting of the fibrous sheaf, the crossing of threads in weaving, the finishing of raw fabrics, as well as the technological connection between the properties of fibres and the application of clothing. The organizational forms of the partnership provide for the holding of six seminars for reporting on the stages of the project and two meetings for planning and reporting on the collaboration. For the year and a half of the project, the expected results include articles, teaching tools and programs that compose a monograph with the main parameters for building a training workshop for primary textile techniques. The partnership is united by project No. 2025-1-BG01-KA210-ADU-000363229 under the Erasmus+ program with the operating organization of the National Agency for Human Resources Development Centre in Sofia.
