Thinking globally, acting locally: School project, Dorothea Odorfer

In Thinking Globally, Acting Locally: School Project, Dorothea Odörfer from the Modeschule Hallein, Austria, describes how 120 students and 13 teachers from six school classes were involved in a year-long Responsible Consumption project. Various events were held during the project including a fashion show, workshops for students, and a panel discussion involving local politicians and fair trade organisations. In addition, the students developed a label for local businesses relating to sustainability.

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.
