When the weather was nice, volunteers from Greenpeace Bonn opened the exchange tables in the courtyard of the Central Collection Camp Bonn (ZeSaBo). The action attracted many people who found new old treasures between coat racks and sweater stacks.
Whether corporate responsibility, new technologies or slow fashion - this year's FEMNET conference for students will also address current and critical topics in the international apparel industry.
We know repair cafés from pre-pandemic times as a way to meet new people and repair garments to extend their wearing time. As a result, you can not only save money, but also do something good for the climate and the environment.
The longer and more complex the supply chain, the higher the risk of maladministration and infringement. A prime example of this are textiles: According to the Global Slavery Index, garments are among the imported products with the second highest risk of human rights violations within global supply chains.

Climate neutrality, climate protection and the 1.5 degree target determine national and international policy. However, the effects of the fast fashion industry on the environment and climate are rarely criticized in this context. In the new educational modules for schools and universities, FEMNET wants to shed light on the climate impacts of the textile industry and develop climate-friendly alternatives for action in solidarity.
Further training for multipliers, hiking coaches and speakers
Multipliers, hiking coaches or speakers from Network n are active at various colleges and universities. They shape, set something in motion and thus transform the university landscape. And they continue to educate themselves!
"Service Learning Digital - Social Commitment despite Social Distance" is the motto under which students of the University of Cologne support non-profit organisations in interdisciplinary teams for one semester. FEMNET implemented a project both in the summer semester 2020 and in the winter semester 2020/21 – in the summer, the students supported the campaign work around the Fashion checker on the issues of fair wages and transparency. In the winter, a group worked on educational materials on the topic of climate and clothing, which should show the connection between climate damage and the clothing industry with participatory methods.
