- Today's students take responsibility for human and labour rights as decision-makers of tomorrow. They get to know and use their opportunities for action.
- Students and lecturers are familiar with working conditions in production countries in the global South as well as social and ecological standards in the clothing industry.
- Students are committed to a more socially just clothing industry and are strengthened in their role as activists and social designers.
- Corporate responsibility, human and labour rights become an integral part of university teaching.
