About the event
A collaborative workshop to help you understand the Complexity and Impacts of the textile Industry on our planet.

This collaborative workshop illustrates the complexities and impacts (social and ecological) of the textile industry by using clothing as a case study. You will create the production chain of textiles and learn about the industry’s impact. Then work together to find solutions and actions you can take.
