During all project activities the organizers try to involve students, majoring in fashion or young designers and share professional experience with them.

During the seminar, taking place in May, 2011 Armenian and European experts conducted a series of master classes on various aspects of fashion for students of ATEX fashion centre, “Zatik” studio, Armenian State Pedagogical University, Yerevan State Academy of Fine Arts, National Academy of Fine Arts. Through master classes the experts presented not only international experience but also practical skills and knowledge.

The program of the exhibition, taking place in February, 2012 in Yerevan included also master classes. The exhibition curator Tony Charalambous presented his experience to students and curators of various galleries and museums and provided practical recommendations on existing exhibitions. The designers, participating in the project also ran master class for students of three higher institutions, during which they presented not only their collaborations but also provided the students with an opportunity to draw their own sketches and discuss them.

Master classes were also organized during the tour of the exhibition in regions of Armenia for students of Gyumri and Dilijan branches of State Academy of Fine Arts. The students value such meetings and the opportunity to exchange experience with professional designers.

Similar activities are also organized during the European tour of the exhibition. During the exhibition in Romania Andra Clitan and Aram Nikolyan shared their experience with fellow designers, presented the reflection of national identity in their garments and tried to draw with fellow designers other sketches, presenting Romanian national identity.
