How can I help you? India: Ethical and Organic Development

Hello Students group,

Im a recent graduate from Central Saint Martins and Im super keen to see what kind of programmes or events your university offers, regarding, Ethical, Organic and Sustainable Issues?

Does your Uni put on any lectures or events?
Is it included as a module in your studies?
What do you do to find out more about these issues?

I am going to India, to learn and find out more about Ethical Factories and Organic Cotton Farmers, and all those involved. I will be writting a once/twice weekley blog about it also. As an informative and understandable tool to help us young ones out!

IWhat do you think?

Thanks

S

Hi Sarah,

I would be really interested in reading your blog and would love to be kept up to date with your weekly info.
I am at present going into my second year at Coventry Uni doing a BA in Fashion Design, so far we haven't done anything to do with ethical fashion and everything I have done so far has been my own research.

Good luck with your travels

Sian

I'm a second year fashion student and really interested in ethical fashion and textiles. Where will I be able to see your blog, would be really interested to read what you find in India. My course is part of Bournemouth uni and they are pretty rubbish in this area, we don't have any special lectures in this area. I did my first year at Winchester School of Art and they were much better with a good focus on the ethical side of fashion and textiles.

I do as much as I can to find out my own information in this area as it will be my sole focus on graduating and I too am really interested in finding places in India where I can get designs made as ethically as possible and source ethical fabrics. Love to know how you go! :)

Hi Sarah,

This is extremely interesting. I'm a second year student of Fashion Management (one year later than everyone else in here it seems). We have a few lectures in every unit about CSR and production of fashion, but only in this second year - not otherwise.

The major thing though, is that I'm about to plan a term in the PEARL Academy, New Delhi. SO if anyone in here has experience with that school please tell me about it!

Anyhow I'll get started reading your blog - mine is www.learningthebusinessoffashion.tumblr.com where I'll keep everyone posted on my plans
