It was organized in the jubilee year of the Technical Faculty "Mihajlo Pupin", University of Novi Sad. On the occasion of 50 years of existence, about 50 models were presented.

The Fashion Show had three parts. The first part shows the models that were created by redesigning old jeans, jackets and other clothes made of jeans.

Event on the occasion of World Environment Day

Knowledge of the green planet - GREEN is IN

World Environment Day is a day that is celebrated all over the world on June 5 with the aim of drawing public attention to numerous problems in the environment and the need to preserve the environment. Environmental protection is crucial for the preservation of natural resources, human health and sustainable development. We all have a responsibility to take care of the environment to create a better environment for all of us.

For this reason, on June 5, 2024, at the Technical Faculty "Mihajlo Pupin" in Zrenjanin, an event was held under the name: Knowledge for a green planet - Green is In, organized by the Department of Environmental Protection and the Department of Basic and Applied Sciences - Department of Clothing Engineering Technical Faculty "Mihajlo Pupin" with the support of the City of Zrennenin.

This year, the organizers and participants want to draw attention to the negative effects of "fast fashion" on the environment. Clothing provides us with comfort and protection, and for many, it is an important expression of individuality. However, although the textile and fashion industry is one of the largest industries in the world economy, it is one of the largest polluters of the environment.

In addition to the students of the Technical Faculty, Zrenjanin's creative high school students, the Institute for Biological Research "Siniša Stankovic", fashion designer AMELIE, NGO "Environmental Protection Engineers" will also participate in the event, which through exhibitions, workshops and presentations reminded the citizens of Zrenjanin of the importance of preserving the environment, but and pointed out possible solutions, that is, how and in what way each individual can make his personal contribution for a greener and cleaner environment.

As part of the event on June 4, a panel entitled "What is the price of fast fashion" was held in the Cultural Center of Zrenjanin. The panel participants were: prof. Dr. Bogdana Vujic, Assoc. Dr. Ineta Nemeša, prof. Dr. Sanja Stanisavljev and Prof. Eddie Darushi.
