MBO – The Circular Fashion Programme
The Circular Fashion Programme at Fashion for Good Museum is designed and targeted completely towards the next generation entering the workforce – vocational education students (MBO). During the programme, students will be guided through the museum by a tour guide to learn about circularity in fashion and how this could be translated into their own work in the future.
Students will also be introduced to important industry terminology and participate in short practical activities along the way, encouraging them to relate to and process the information in their own individual context. This includes analysing their own clothing to better understand the journey a single garment goes through before making its way onto the market, and collecting positive small actions they can incorporate into their own personal daily routines. Finally, students will get to know the innovators changing the industry for the better and have the chance to put all this new found knowledge to good use by designing their own future forward garment.
During the Circular Fashion Programme students will:
- Gain understanding of the value-chain involved in creating a T-shirt and the impact that has on our planet
- Consider industry solutions which they can relate to
- Gain insight in to the role of the consumer and their own position in the narrative
- Get to know the innovators who use scientific practices to change the industry for the better
- Consider their role in the process as someone new entering the industry
Other Education Programmes
Kids Birthday Party
Celebrate your birthday in the Fashion for Good Museum! During your party celebration you will go on The Journey of a T-shirt. The workshop will start with a short tour explaining how a T-shirt is made. After the introduction, the design workshop will start where you will decorate your own sustainable, fashion-forward T-shirt with natural dyes made from avocados, coffee and turmeric, as well as fun fabric markers and ‘off-cut’ embellishments!
Kids Corner
Visiting the Fashion for Good Museum is also a fun activity for kids and families.
For curious young minds there’s the Fashion for Good Kids Corner! This is a special space in the museum where kids can get creative and dream up their own version of the future of fashion, right here in the museum.
We have a few activities available that are designed to be as fun and interactive as possible for 8-12 year olds and are available in Dutch and English. Here the kids – or innovators and designers of the future as we’d like to call them – can celebrate their birthdays, attend workshops or join educational programmes.
Teacher Pass
The Fashion for Good Teacher Pass grants free access to the Fashion for Good Museum all year round, providing schools with the opportunity to learn more about the Fashion for Good educational programmes.
Two passes are issued per school and are valid for the entire school year, giving the entire teaching staff the opportunity to be inspired by groundbreaking fashion innovations, become familiar with the concept of circularity and sustainability and learn more about how to actively communicate the importance of sustainability with students. The passes can only be issued to schools located in the Netherlands.
