Following this motto, FEMNET launched the student network fashion interACTION on 27 September 2023. During the digital opening event, interested parties were given insights into the collaborative development of the network, into the program for the coming months and all other possibilities that fashion interACTION offers.
With the fashion interACTION network, FEMNET contributes to the cross-university, supra-regional networking of students who are committed to human rights and a social-ecological change in the textile and clothing industry. There are already many student initiatives and organizations that are committed to a sustainable change in the industry. The new platform simplifies networking, shares resources and knowledge, and strengthens motivation.
On 27 September 2023 at 7 p.m., we will launch the network fashion interAction – networked – fair – informed. In response to the serious grievances of the fashion industry, many students and student initiatives have already set out to work for decent working conditions, the protection of the environment and human rights. The new network fashion interAction bundles this broad commitment, networking active people nationwide in order to bundle knowledge and resources and achieve more together.
