The students formulate their own motivation and vision for sustainable fashion and design a creative solution for a more sustainable world.
The intention is to foster intrinsic motivation and visionary thinking about circular futures in students.
This brick is part 2 out of 3. Part 1 can be found here: The fashion ‘why’ – Part 1. Part 3 can be found here: The fashion ‘why’ – Part 3.
Using the Value Compass method, ask students to draw an x and y axis on a piece of paper. On the x axis, students write ‘basic’ on the left, and ‘original’ on the right. On the y axis, they write ‘unoriginal’ at the bottom, and ‘original’ at the top. Now give them 5-10 minutes to categorize their ideas into these axes.
Guide groups to think of a small initiative or solution to promote sustainable fashion. The ideas which belong to ‘original’ and ‘realistic’ on the cluster are the ideas that students are recommended to focus on. They can pick one of these ideas, or combine them. Students can refer back to the Futures of fashion when in doubt.
Let groups start to build a representation of their vision using clean waste and art supplies (e.g. a pop-up shop, repair café, swap platform, clothing with revolutionary materials). Alternatively: Provide sheets of paper and craft materials, to let them represent their ideas through a poster.
