📣 Celebrating 25 years of transnational cooperation: a special textile Memory Quilt
📍 May 12th – 14th
Salzburg Congress
🧵 As part of the AlpTextyles project, we are marking the 25th anniversary of the Interreg Alpine Space Programme with a simple yet meaningful gesture. We are collecting pieces of fabric that hold personal memories of the programme — a T-shirt from a project, a fabric bag from an Interreg conference, or a textile memento — to sew together a collective memory quilt.
✨ Fun fact: the quilt will be created starting from and around a T-shirt coming from a past Interreg Alpine Space project, AlpFoodway!
✨ How to participate:
— Please bring a piece of fabric measuring 25 x 25 cm (but we’ll be happy to cut it to size on-site if needed).
— Each piece will represent your connection to the hashtag#InterregAlpineSpace Programme, helping us sew together a quilt that celebrates 25 years of collaboration and shared memories.
