Summary

From Granny to Trendy is a programme for active ageing and empowerment through the upcycling of second-hand clothes for women over 50 who are no longer active, in a co-implementation model that engages the social network and local communities in which these women live. As a result, we promote new skills by sharing experiences and knowledge in an intervention model that fosters social inclusion, combats the stigma of ageism, and educates on environmental preservation.
