During Dutch Sustainable Fashion Week - from Oct. 9 to 13 - we celebrate sustainable developments in schools through a Swap Party (clothing swap event).
The DSFW supports young people to understand more about climate change and its impact on our planet. To introduce pupils and students to sustainable alternatives to buying clothes, we are inviting elementary, middle, high school, college and university institutions nationwide to participate in the nationwide Swap-Don't shop school event.
Often students/students all have items of clothing at home that they have outgrown or that they no longer like as much but are still good enough to wear. As a parent or student, you are quickly tempted to buy new clothes again. How cool is it to hand in these old, still good, clothes and get new clothes in return? This can be done through a clothing exchange.
Here's how to organize this Swap-Don't shop school event:
The garment industry is one of the most polluting industries in the world (after the oil industry). By letting young people see and experience all that we can do to help our planet, we empower them to make sustainable choices in the future.
