France Retail: still a blurred picture for footwear retail
Sep 24, 2024 / France

French footwear retailers seem to be at a crossroads trying to figure out what will happen next. Prices are flat, sales are slow, consumer confidence is in general volatile, and stocks are building up (leading to a fall in imports). There was, however, a small improvement in consumer confidence in August, in line with the downward trend in inflation, suggesting that a much-needed relief may be reaching French households. Still, this may not be enough to boost retail sales this year as political uncertainty continues to cloud the horizon

THE AEQUALIS4TCLF project: What do TCLF companies need in terms of education? You can help us!


On the 11th and 12th of September, Vilnius became the hub of innovation and collaboration for Europe’s textile, clothing, leather, and footwear (TCLF) industries. Representatives from 19 public and private organisations across eight countries — Belgium, Croatia, Czechia, Finland, Lithuania, Netherlands, Serbia, and Slovenia — gathered to advance the game-changing Erasmus+ Blueprint AEQUALIS4TCLF project. This initiative is at the forefront of equipping Europe’s TCLF workforce with the vital skills needed to navigate the digital and green transitions that are reshaping the global economy.

In a world where sustainability and technology are redefining industries, AEQUALIS4TCLF is tackling the challenge head-on. Project partners will design cutting-edge curricula and learning resources to ensure that upper and post-secondary vocational education and training (VET) and tertiary students are equipped with the green and digital skills necessary for the future of these sectors. These efforts are needed to support the industries’ transition towards a more sustainable and circular economy — a priority for businesses striving to stay competitive and eco-conscious.

During the Vilnius’ meeting, partners delved into the first findings of an insightful survey targeting education institutions and companies aimed at assessing the current and future skills and training needs. The insights gained will shape the project’s educational curricula and respective training programmes, ensuring they are both practical and future-proof. The project team is calling on more TCLF companies and education providers in these countries to participate in this ongoing survey accessible HERE.
