Atlantis Youth Project

The Technology Station: Clothing and Textiles hosted a group of 26 Young Entrepreneurs from Atlantis (± 75 KM from Cape Town on the West Coast) on a screen printing training programme. The training hopefully helps these entrepreneurs to add value to their fabrics.

The Technology Station: Clothing and Textiles would like to thank Patrick and Bradley of National Screen Digital Supplies who selflessly gave of their resources and time to the project, Mrs. Geraldine Geswindt who made the initial contact with the Technology Station: Clothing and Textiles, Mr. Charles Martienesen, principal of Atlantis Senior Secondary School who noted his willingness to accommodate the entrepreneurs as an incubator and TIA for supporting the Technology Station: Clothing and Textiles to extend its footprint.
