Image 6 Fashion revolution workshop Unilever’s five levers activity
Students during this workshop were really engaged and set up a working group via
social media so that they could continue to communicate about Fashion Revolution
Week. One surprising outcome of the workshop was that the fashion students who had
taken part had started a petition to embed the sustainability in practice certificate into
their programme of study, gathering 37 student signatures. The fashion programme
leader is now in contact with the Green Academy looking at embedding this for the
next academic year.
The final visual display idea was developed by a student in the Nottingham Business School, their idea was to raise awareness of the SDGs using labels to show
which targets relate to the fashion industry and how they are combating different
global issues (see Image 7). For example, showing the estimated number of children
working in garment production, and then connecting it to the solution SDG 8 target
7 ‘Take immediate and effective measures to eradicate forced labour, end modern
slavery and human trafficking and secure the prohibition and elimination of the worst
forms of child labour, including recruitment and use of child soldiers, and by 2025
end child labour in all its forms’ (United Nations Sustainable Development 2018).
The SDG targets used in the visual display 1.1, 1.2, 5.1, 6.3, 6.6, 10.4 and 12.5 the
display also raised awareness of what direct actions people could take such as choosing sustainable fashion labels, for example EU Ecolabel, Fairtrade, Better Cotton
