Description
This conference was a day event which allowed me to improve my knowledge of current Ethical information. It allowed me to discuss and 'test out'my knowledge of this issue. By contributing and discussing sustainability issues I have increased my knowledge which will in turn allow me to transfer this information to our Textile students at ECA and it also helps to inform my own design practice.
By being part of this conference I was able to share experience/knowledge with other universities and colleges in Scotland.
Issues raised: Garment Workers Rights
Slow Fashioning Movement
Ethical Practice-Online stores.
All of the above allow Tutors/designers to transfer knowledge/and encourages this expertise to be passed onto students.
