Metr\u00f3polis FP Lab<\/strong> is an initiative promoted by the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona<\/strong> and the BCN Vocational Training Foundation<\/strong> with the aim of promoting vocational training and fostering innovation<\/strong> and creativity<\/strong> among young people.<\/p>\n Thirteen companies propose thirteen real challenges<\/strong>, offering students from different training cycles<\/strong> the opportunity to develop a collaborative project that addresses them<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In its 6th edition, Maresme Circular<\/strong> has joined the programme by setting the students the following challenge: How can we separate and recycle everyday textile waste?<\/strong> The volume of textile waste in our country is around one million tonnes, but only a small part of it is collected selectively and reused locally. How can we improve this?<\/p>\n The three centres that have reached the acceleration phase and have therefore presented the most innovative projects with the highest degree of feasibility of implementation are: El Calamot Institute<\/strong> (Gav\u00e0), the Merc\u00e8 Rodoreda Institute<\/strong> (L’Hospitalet de Llobregat) and the Severo Ochoa Institute<\/strong> (Esplugues de Llobregat).<\/p>\n The winning team will receive a training grant<\/strong> to develop the project.<\/p>\n The Accelerator, which was held at the Citilab in Cornell\u00e0<\/strong>, had a high level of participation: 13 companies and 170 students<\/strong> divided into 40 working groups<\/strong>, of which 26 will be selected as finalists.<\/p>\n
