The Campaigners: Exploring the Fast Fashion Industry 🛍️

Today we continued to explored Fast Fashion and looked more closely at the rights of workers.

We started by ranking different factors that we consider when buying a T-shirt. We identified colour, brand,  price, fit and fabric as being very important. Meanwhile we don’t often think about the wages of the worker that made the product, where the product came from or the conditions of the factory that it was produced in 🤔

We then took part in a role play where we were the factory workers and had to produce 3 caps in an allocated time frame to receive our wages 💰

After our caps had been quality assured by the manager we then had to decide how to spend our wages. We discussed afterwards how these choices are also the choices that workers in the fast fashion industry have to face everyday 🏭

We went on to create our Fair Factory Charters and ensured that the rights of workers would be upheld ⭐️

Persuasive Peer Reviewing ✍🏼
