Training Course
4-12 May 2024 | Olde Vechte, Netherlands
Objective
To help youth workers and youth leaders become committed, confident and skilled to advocate for a sustainable and ethical fashion industry.
Target group
Main setup
A 7-day training course for 24 participants, taking place in Ommen in the Netherlands from 4 to 12 May 2024 (incl. travel days). The training course consists of the following main elements:
Increasing the understanding of what wrongdoings take place in the fashion system and why this is (still) the case, including diving into the complex power relations, the interests of the different stakeholders that are active in the industry, and the factors that hamper the adoption of alternatives to fast fashion.
Practise what we preach: participants adopting responsible consumption behaviour as a prerequisite for advocating in the outside world
Familiarizing with a framework and techniques & tactics to influence decision makers at fashion businesses and to pressurize them to adopt fair policies & practices. Such tactics include mobilizing youth in their (= participants’) communities, getting in touch with the decision-makers of the industry and being active activists.
Participants each design and plan a real-life action, through which they, together with other youth from their community, are to put pressure on fashion businesses, making them become accountable and change their practices.
After the training course, the participants actually implement these actions, with the support of their community members and leaders. They’ll try to engage people from all sorts of different power positions to ensure impact on a deeper, foundational level.
