Not only does SLEM offer education for footwear students and
professionals, the organization as such is a school as well, providing
traineeships to students. We proudly present our first team of trainees who
will help build SLEM from scratch.

At the upcoming GDS in Dusseldorf, from September 5-7, SLEM will present its first activities in a brand new spacious booth on a brand new location in Hall 3! Visitors of GDS can visit two free seminars and see a preview of the spectacular expo Watch Our Steps. For the first time ever the best footwear graduation works from around the world will be shown together! The full exhibition can be seen at Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven, from October 20-28, but exclusively for GDS we will highlight works from the graduates of the new Master of Shoe Design course from
ArtEZ, as well as the Royal College of Art, London College of
Fashion and the Hiko Mizuno Academy from Tokyo. You could say the expo is a trend
forecast as such, giving insight into future style themes, new technologies and
sustainable ideas.
