Introducing the cotton supply chain and sustainability, Sudwind Agentur

In the short activity, Introducing the Cotton Supply Chain and Sustainability, by Südwind Agentur, Austria, students learn about how cotton is cultivated, and the social and environmental issues associated with its cultivation. With a set of images and matching descriptions about cotton cultivation, students clarify the meaning and content of these and put them in order. Students should be able to show understanding by explaining the images in their own words and using new vocabulary to do so. This activity can also be used as an English as a foreign language lesson and German-English translations are provided.

This teaching activity has been taken from Parker, L. and Dickson, M.A. (2009) Sustainable Fashion: A Handbook for Educators, Bristol: Labour Behind the Label. Download the whole publication here.
