About the Event
A series being organised by Alex More for pupils from across SAST schools.
Planet Shaftesbury is more involved in some days than others - offering workshop leaders, speakers, finding speakers, helping with admin on the day etc.
Alex previously described the day looking at fashion: This workshop focuses on a problem of our times: fast, disposable fashion. Students will learn about a clothes jump in Accra, Ghana then join our partner school live in Ghana for a discussion. Working with our textiles staff and a local start-up, students will have to design ethical clothing whilst considering closed loop production and marketing. Maths and art sit at the heart of this workshop.
This rescheduled day is as follows:
9 - 12 (Primary students making garments from upcycled items)
1-3pm - live Catwalk, secondary students judge
