That's why I'm grateful to the team that told us about this project. It's the first time I've heard about Fashion Theater, a concept that helps a lot. much to promote culture, traditional costumes, folklore It was a pleasure to learn about this concept.It is an innovative project.In 2017, the European Parliament through a resolution for the implementation of the regulations of the Creative Europe 2014-2020 program, raised the issue of emphasizing This is exactly what this project has done, and this is exactly what this project has done.

Mrs. Raja JHINAOUI BEN ALI, message sent by Mrs Afef BOULEYMEN-GOUIA, Secretary "On behalf of Her Excellency, Ms. Raja JHINAOUI BEN ALI Ambassador of the Republic of Tunisia to Romania, I would like to thank you for inviting me to attend the conference you are organizing. I would like to congratulate Kasta Morrely for coordinating the project" Sustainability of Fashion in the Spotlight, new trends in Intercultural Learning ", co-financed by the European Union's Creative Europe program. I also congratulate international partners, especially Sfax University in my home country Tunisia, one of the most prestigious universities in the country and the Intercultural Organization for All in Portugal, for their efforts. In this regard, I would like to emphasize that this project will serve to strengthen the capacity of the cultural and creative industries and to promote cultural heritage and intercultural diversity, taking into account sustainable development.

I have watched with great pleasure how they have developed over time. It is a real pleasure and I am glad that they managed to complete this project. I know the organization that brought together today through the prism of another project previously funded under the Europe for Citizens program and so I began to know but also to follow the activity of this group, this very interesting organization. The program that I coordinate in Romania, being a contact point hosted by the Ministry of Culture, we can provide you with the information you need and we can offer you assistance in the elaboration of the project. Have someone to guide you and tell you if you're on the right track or need to change something. Let's celebrate and congratulate them. Bravo!" Dr. Morel Bolea, President of the EuroDEMOS Association "I realized from the outside and from your presentation, how complex this activity was. What you really promote is the qualification, that without qualification you cannot be wise, so without training you cannot be wise, it is very important and everyone has to gain if there are people whose training contributes to the evolution of society. Imposture, inculturation, subculture have never led to progress, they have never led to comfort, they have never led to a model of life that has a future. Congratulations, I know how much you put your soul into it, I know that you are happy to do what you know how to do, that is, what you have learned and developed as an applied science and I am really happy. I can't wait to see what you do next. I wish you success! ” Prof. univ. dr. Vasile Burlui President of Apollonia TV "I am delighted to be able to express some views on the fact that we have a joint project with colleagues at Kasta Morrely. It is an absolutely generous project that includes different layers of society and at the same time even different ages, from the age of a child, a teenager to people who have gone through life, as is our case. However, the Kasta Morrely project allows for very close communication between generations, is very involved in the education of young people and I would like to say that they have absolutely admirable results. I have actually participated in several events of this organization, I can name it, I think the institution deserves this name, and I want to say that the atmosphere has always been extraordinary. In addition to the optimism that it cultivates among the participants and the creators, it is also about the aesthetic taste that is educated, but at the same time it is also about the movement. Because everything is harmonious in what they organize. And the impact on the participants and the public is extraordinary. I believe that the creative industry through Kasta Morrely has gained a privileged position in Romania and not only in Romania ". Kasta Morrely is an international cultural, human rights advocacy association coordinated entirely by multi-skilled, volunteer-based specialists who actively advocate for the sustainable development of democratic society by promoting skills and qualifications in all areas of society.
