On 23 April 2024, Growunited e.V. hosted the networking event “Get to Know No Label” at the Growunited office in Frankfurt, Germany, bringing together around 30 participants from alliance partners, local civil society organisations, youth groups, and sustainability-oriented initiatives. The event was designed to introduce the No Label project, strengthen existing partnerships, and expand Growunited’s local CSO network.
The evening opened with a welcome by Bledion Vladi, founder of Growunited, who introduced the organisation’s mission and vision. This was followed by a project presentation by Dona Momm, who presented the No Label initiative, its goals, and its focus on conscious consumerism and sustainable fashion. To give the project a practical and tangible dimension, existing alliance members WoMan Force and KBJ were introduced. Anela Kraucovic from WoMan Force shared the brand’s approach to sustainable fashion and its work on challenging gender norms, supported by concrete product examples that sparked interest and discussion.
Following the presentations, the event shifted into an open and informal networking session, allowing participants to connect organically, exchange ideas, and explore opportunities for collaboration. Representatives from alliance partners also invited members of their own CSO networks, creating a diverse mix of participants from the fashion, sustainability, and social sectors, alongside youth and young professionals.
