Details:
The non-profit organisation Fairtrade Lëtzebuerg and the Weltbuttek of Diekirch are organising the “Fair Fashion Days” in collaboration with the city of Diekirch, at the Al Seeërei centre on Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 April 2024, from 10:00 to 18:00.
At the “Fair Fashion Days”, a multitude of activities await visitors: escape games and fun games, an exhibition and creative workshops such as sewing, screen printing, macramé or crochet workshops, and sales stands offering different brands of Fairtrade-certified clothing.
These “Fair Fashion Days” are part of the “Rethink Your Clothes” campaign, mandated by the Luxembourg Cooperation and implemented by Fairtrade Lëtzbuerg and Caritas Luxembourg. The two organisations notably aim to offer “global citizenship education”, particularly in the context of the textile sector. By raising awareness of global issues such as the working conditions of workers, the environmental impact of cotton and textile production and economic inequalities, this type of information can broaden horizons and encourage more responsible consumption. By cultivating solidarity and empathy, consumers can make informed decisions, thereby promoting fairer and sustainable business practices in the fashion industry. In this way, global citizenship education empowers individuals to become agents of positive change, helping to transform the textile sector towards a more equitable and respectful path.
