Circularity in Action: Immersive Learning Experiences

At Wearsos, we believe education doesn’t stop in the classroom. It happens in the field, in everyday interactions, and through the impact we create together. For us, learning is not only about knowledge — it’s about how that knowledge gets applied in ways that shape people, communities, and the planet.

Why Experiential Learning Matters

In a world where positive change is always needed, education can’t be passive. It has to prepare students to understand the complexity of global challenges and to see themselves as active participants in building solutions. That’s why we’ve made experiential education a core part of who we are as a social enterprise.

Over the years, we’ve partnered with schools, universities, and study-abroad programs to design opportunities that push students to grow from experiences. From student consultancy projects to internships and hands-on learning experiences, each program allows participants to see how circular economy principles can be lived out in real time.

Learning Inside a Living Social Enterprise

Wearsos products tell a story: retired airplane seats transformed into bags that drive change for women in rural Costa Rica. When students join us, they don’t just study these concepts — they step into them.

They see first-hand how discarded materials can be reimagined into value, how ethical business can sustain communities, and how circularity is not just an idea but a daily practice. They also bring their own perspectives, creativity, and research, adding to the growth of Wearsos as much as they learn from it.

Impact for Students, Educators, and Communities

For students, this means applying their studies in a context that is tangible, international, and socially grounded. For educators, it means offering learners a unique bridge between academic theory and real-world practice. And for communities, it means welcoming the next generation of changemakers into their conversations 

Let’s Build Together

At Wearsos, we’re proud to open our doors to universities, programs, and educators who want to explore the intersection of circular economy, business, and community empowerment. Whether through short-term consultancy, semester-long programs, or customized internships, we tailor every experience to academic goals and student interests.
