Active for Human Rights in Fashion - Student Action Manual

Our student action manual is here! We have designed an inspiring and practical toolbox that shows how commitment to a socially responsible clothing industry can be lived and has an impact.

The publication presents twelve action ideas around the topics of fashion and human rights, which can be assigned to the categories creativity, events and permanent actions. These ideas for action are supplemented by practical guidelines for the generation of ideas and action plans, which can be used for the concrete development of own ideas and actions.

Regional database

Where in my city can I get involved in human rights and fashion? What are the alternatives to buying new clothes near me? Our new regional database provides answers. Whether you want to become active yourself, get creative with textiles or alternatively consume - entries can be filtered by city or state via a map of Germany and narrowed down to a category by means of the menu on the right-hand side. So it is very easy to find a regional group for your own commitment or a textile repair café where the ripped jeans can be repaired. Find out what's in your area.
