Fashion Impacts Challenge: Clothes-Minded
Climate leadership, social justice and environmental stewardship – all rolled into one school-wide digital program.
Our My Clothes My World program educates students in grades 4-12 about the social & environmental impacts of the global fashion industry, and empowers 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. And now, due to the pandemic, we are excited to offer a selection of digital and live virtual workshops to suit all grades and a number of curriculum units.
Contact Jennifer Petursson for more information.
Our digital workshop is self-directed with teacher support and our resources are all online. In addition, we offer one-hour virtual workshops (see below for details), which take place live online with one of our education facilitators, at a day and time that best suits you. If you are interested in learning more please contact us.
