Open-source application
The Rails application is the reusable workshop platform. Fork it, adapt its workflows, and use it as a starting point for your own learning programme.
An open-source workshop platform
Tools, knowledge, and a framework for collaborative change.
IMASUS is a public archive and an open-source platform for designing participatory learning experiences around complex sustainability challenges.
Built to be reused
A working model, not just a record of a project.
A practical toolkit
Combine workshops, published projects, a materials library, training modules, challenge cards and a glossary in one durable public site.
Designed for adaptation
The structure supports different contexts: educational programmes, community innovation labs, research initiatives, and cross-sector collaborations.
The IMASUS experience
An ambitious educational project for a sustainable textile future.
IMASUS brought together young textile professionals, educators, researchers and partners to learn by working on real industry questions. It connects material knowledge with systems thinking, creative practice, and collaborative action.
