The students develop an understanding of the impact of child labor in the textile industry and explore ways in which they can contribute to change as individuals.
The intention is to recognize the difference between appropriate work for children (helping at home) and exploitative labor. Through this activity, they develop empathy, ethical judgment, and critical thinking about consumerism.
Present the problem of child labor in the fast fashion industry. To do so, use the Quiz on child labor or the True or false on child labor.
Students are divided into small groups and each group will work on the question of: How can we as consumers contribute to reducing child labor? Allow students to discuss and research this question online.
Students make a poster or infographic about this question. If students get stuck, give some suggestions in the right direction:
Each group presents their poster using the Café Presentation method.
Discuss what suggestions are most feasible and realistic.
Each student writes a short personal commitment: What will I do to contribute to ethical fashion?
