Show and describe the 3 short examples of The fashion ‘why’ – Part 1.
Ask students to think about these examples, and to start thinking about alternatives futures through the The fashion ‘why’ – Part 1 brainstorm prompts. Project these questions on the board, and let students reflect on these questions by themselves using the The fashion ‘why’ – Part 1 method. Give them 5 minutes to brainstorm the ‘now’, 5 minutes for the ‘future’, and 5 minutes to think of a first rough idea for a more sustainable fashion world.
Form small groups using the The fashion ‘why’ – Part 1 method. Let students share their visions and discuss what motivates them using the The fashion ‘why’ – Part 1 method.
Didactic tips
- Let all groups briefly write down what they made on the leaving a message handout, and what message they want to give to the world regarding clothing. Find a place where all designs and messages can be displayed, either in the school or at a public place. Alternatively, invite parents or save the designs for the days that parents come to visit.
