Community Initiatives
Grassroots collaborations that amplify local knowledge systems, revive traditional practices, and foster ecological stewardship.
The presence of litter-pickers on beaches is no longer unusual—volunteers and environmental groups regularly collect debris along the coastline. Fòra Plastics builds on this momentum, inviting everyone to treat beach cleanups as a natural part of their time near the sea—just like collecting shells or stones.
Through simple acts and organized events, including during water sports like surfing, kayaking, or sailing, the project helps monitor beach conditions and deepen public understanding of marine pollution.
We aim to make the issue of marine litter more visible and immediate, encouraging people to reflect on their relationship with plastic and the limits of recycling. By clearing our shores together, we cultivate greater awareness of our consumption patterns and take small but meaningful steps toward collective responsibility.
Fora Plàstics
The Mœurs Foundation’s ongoing project in Mallorca supports the preservation and renewal of artisanal traditions that are at risk of disappearing. Beginning with llata—the intricate craft of weaving dried palm fronds into everyday objects like the traditional senalla bag—we collaborate directly with local artisans to bring ancestral skills into dialogue with contemporary design.
Palm weaving is a delicate and time-intensive process, now practiced by only a few remaining craftspeople on the island. As production has increasingly shifted abroad due to lower costs, the future of these local traditions grows uncertain.
By co-creating pieces that blend time-honored techniques with hand-painted elements and regionally produced textiles, we aim to celebrate the stories behind the craft, raise visibility around its cultural value, and support the continuity of Mallorcan heritage. This project reflects our broader commitment to sustaining local knowledge systems and creative practices through practical engagement and thoughtful innovation.
