About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

• What does Fashion mean to each of us? • How do people in our society dress? Which differences and commonalities exist? • Where do our clothes come from? Who produces them? • What happens to our old clothes? • How can consumer habits be changed? These are some of the key questions the project will focus on. The participants will discuss with students about the consequences of fashion production and how it affects people in the Global South and North. An important aim of the project is to discuss alternatives on global and local level and motivate the students to become active.

💼 What the programme involves

The project is divided into two main parts: training seminar and school workshops. During the ten days training, the participants will get to know each other and exchange knowledge, ideas and opinions on the topic. A team of two trainers will give input and support the participants to design workshops in small groups. During the second part of the project the participants will present the workshops at different schools.

🏠 Accommodation on site

In a seminar house in Cologne; four participants will share a room. During the training phase, a chef & camp supporter will cook for the participants. Afterwards, all meals will be prepared by the camp group.
