Fashion Impacts Challenge: Clothes-Minded
Climate leadership, social justice and environmental stewardship – all rolled into one school-wide digital program.
Menu
Our popular youth education program teaches students in grades 4-12 about the social & environmental impacts of the global fashion industry, while empowering them to build a more resilient and sustainable future
My Clothes, My World (MCMW) was developed with a holistic focus, and includes a variety of teaching and learning methods such as personal leadership, active and inquiry based learning, democratic role-play, collaboration, value focused thinking, reflection and critical thinking.
We have been delivering these workshops in person since 2014, by our team of trained facilitators who are equipped with lesson plans that meet your school board curriculum. Over the past couple of years we pivoted to offer a mix of digital and live virtual workshops that suit all grades and a number of curriculum units.
We are now working on transitioning our live virtual workshops to recorded sessions, and producing five digital modules.
