Fashion High: Understanding the impact of your clothing, Social Alterations
Social Alterations, the Education Lab for Socially Responsible Fashion Design, have used their favourite teaching activities from the FEI publication Teaching Sustainable Fashion: A Handbook for Educators and developed their own exercises to create two workshops for pre-16 learners.
These workshops hope to engage, educate, encourage and empower both educator and learner to get involved with the issues. Each workshop provides resources and tools to help lessen the impact of the fashion industry on both people and planet.
The workshop uses the FEI resources 'I Agree, I Disagree', 'All Together Now', 'The Quiz' and has developed 2 new activities 'Understanding Impact', which focuses on clothes laundering and 'Talking Back', an activity that encourages students to discuss the impact of the fashion industry.
The workshop plans can be downloaded from the Social Alterations website.
You can even view a video of the 1 Hour workshop in action, so that you may get a better picture of how this might work in your classroom on the Social Alterations website.
