INTRODUCTION For many years, I have been interested in social economy, including circular economy, intergenerational dialogue and fight against fast fashion. Thus, I designed a business that would answer these problems. Although these problems do not seem related, from my own experience volunteering for Oxfam with elderly people in a charity shop aiming to reduce poverty and fast fashion as well as stories I have heard, articles I have read and conferences I have watched, I am certain that those three issues are related. In this project, I created a learning community for all generations to bring them together and fight against loneliness, insecurity and fast fashion while creating a safe place for this community. In this safe place, everyone can feel welcome and learn from others. I also tried to implement ideas from circular economy by increasing products’ lifetimes through reuse in businesses. 103
