As part of Activity 3, local markets were established in Spain, Italy, Portugal, and North Macedonia, incorporating sustainable sales channels designed through Facebook Marketplace. These markets mark an evolution from the training workshops, enabling beneficiaries—individuals in vulnerable situations such as migrants, long-term unemployed, and women from single-parent families—to market products made from recycled materials, ranging from customised clothing to sustainable accessories. The integration of Facebook Marketplace has facilitated connections and expanded the reach to a digital audience, aligning with the project’s goals of promoting employability and a circular economy.

Inspired by the transnational learning mobility in social marketing, the digital channels have strengthened the European network. This initiative not only empowers participants by linking their creations to the market but also raises community awareness about textile waste reuse, contributing to social inclusion and sustainable development.
