FAIR FASHION Toolkit and Case Studies Collection

Shaping the Future of 
Sustainable Fashion Education

The FAIR FASHION Toolkit and Case Studies Collection has been developed to support educators and innovators in fashion and textiles as they prepare students for the twin transitions of sustainability and digitalisation. Designed through co-creation and collaboration, the Toolkit brings together the latest research, good practices, digital tools, and real-world examples from across Europe.

Whether you're updating your teaching approach, designing a new curriculum, or guiding learners through emerging green and digital skills, this Toolkit gives you practical resources to embed inclusive, future-ready fashion education in your classroom.

Who is the Toolkit for?

This collection is made for higher education teachers, vocational trainers, curriculum designers, and sustainability champions working in the fashion and textiles sector. It also provides value for researchers, policy makers, and fashion professionals who want to bridge the gap between learning and industry needs.

Every resource has been created with educators in mind—accessible, adaptable, and designed to inspire more engaging, impactful learning experiences that reflect the challenges and opportunities of a fast-evolving industry.
