The sportswear brand announced a new multiyear partnership with three Parisian educational partners this week including Prométhée Education, Le Bal and Casa93.
Prométhée Education is an organization that works with disadvantaged high schools in Paris by providing them with mentorship and workshop programs inside and outside of their institutions. The nonprofit organization Le Bal, which was established in 2010, has aimed to increase visual literacy in the Parisian neighborhoods not known for art through various exhibitions, publications and educational programs. Lastly, renowned fashion school Casa93 has provided students with access to education and training in creative fields.
