Scottish Textiles Skills Partnership: ‘Materials World’ – a resource for secondary schools
Material World is a resource that has been developed for secondary schools, designed to use textiles as a medium for delivering learning outcomes related to the STEM, Circular Economy & Sustainability and Developing the Young Workforce agendas. The resource uses case studies of Scottish textile, leather and fashion companies to provide young people with a deeper understanding of the processes used, and products made in Scotland today. Themed activities are linked to the case studies to deepen their learning and skills analysis sheets link the learning through activities, to jobs in the sector.
The evaluation of a pilot with four Scottish Schools as well as resources, case studies and toolkits are contained within the Materials World resource pilot report ES
