Designed for Inclusion: Transforming Adaptive Clothing in Armenia | RECONOMY Snippet

💡 What if clothing could empower everyone?

This video takes you inside the Polyart Research & Development Lab at the National Polytechnic University of Armenia, where innovation, creativity, and inclusion come together to transform the future of adaptive clothing.

🤝 Through collaboration between academia, civil society, and persons with disabilities, the lab is developing practical, user-centered textile solutions that promote greater independence, comfort, and dignity. From sketching ideas and testing prototypes to directly involving end users in the design process, every step demonstrates how inclusive innovation can create products that truly respond to people’s needs.

RECONOMY is an inclusive and green economic development program funded by Sweden and implemented by Helvetas.
