Event Components

  • Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a pivotal concept in modern environmental policy, emphasizing the accountability of producers for the entire lifecycle of their products. It's a framework that aims to internalize the environmental costs associated with the production and disposal of goods, shifting the responsibility from consumers and governments back to the manufacturers.

    Attendees explored various facets of EPR, such as regulatory frameworks, financial mechanisms, and stakeholder engagement strategies, with the goal of enhancing sustainability practices and fostering innovation within industries. So, envision this workshop as a melting pot of ideas and expertise, where participants come together to exchange insights, tackle challenges, and drive positive change in the realm of product stewardship and environmental conservation.

  • A mending workshop embodies the essence of sustainability and craftsmanship, offering participants a haven for reviving cherished garments and learning invaluable skills.

    Here, attendees brought in their well-loved but worn items of clothing, whether it was a frayed sweater or a beloved pair of jeans, seeking to breathe new life into them rather than discarding them. Led by experienced menders, the workshop unfolded as a blend of hands-on demonstrations, personalized guidance, and shared knowledge.

  • The clothing swap event pulsed with anticipation and the thrill of discovery, offering a vibrant space for fashion enthusiasts to exchange garments and breathe new life into their wardrobes.

    Attendees had arrived laden with gently-worn treasures, ready to part with pieces that no longer sparked joy in exchange for newfound gems. Led by the spirit of sustainability and community, the swap had unfolded as a lively exchange of stories and styles, where strangers had become comrades bound by their love for fashion with a conscience.

Youth in Fashion: Career Café

  • Our Youth in Fashion Career Cafe aims to bridge the gap between sustainability and fashion in the local industry, to inspire more young people to seek the existing opportunities, and discover what we can collectively do, through different pathways to contribute to building a circular fashion system.

    The Cafe is dedicated to mentoring and showcasing areas of intersection between fashion and other industries, for young people to be inspired to dive into creating innovative solutions to the persisting social and environmental challenges through inspiring, educating and empowering youth to pursue fulfilling careers in sustainable fashion.

    The cafés have two parts: insights from organizations, individuals and brands through a 2 hour presentation, where you have an opportunity to engage them in a Q & A. We then wrap up the day with a networking and mentoring session.

  • Our incredible speakers are leaders and changemakers thst delve into what they do and the opportunities for exploration that exist. This event is dedicated to resource and knowledge sharing - inspiring young people to value people and the planet.

Thank you to our funders who made this all possible!
