Abstract
This chapter reports on an educational project undertaken in Germany that underlines that the problems caused by the fast fashion industry and relating solutions concerning slow fashion need to be and can be recontextualised for geography education. In the field of knowledge production, the topic is linked to approaches calling for a new economic paradigm, a societal transformation and a “sustainability worldview”. With regard to recontextualisation, this geographical content also corresponds to the aims of the UNESCO Global Action Programme (GAP), striving for sustainable consumption and production as a key area of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). This topic can thus be conducive to facilitating a transformative literacy through systems knowledge, target knowledge and transformation knowledge. The idea of the project was to deal with companies that can be described as “pioneers of change”, implementing a sustainable textile production. Videoclips of interviews with four of these selected companies conducted by young people were integrated in teaching units. These teaching units were tested focusing on raising the awareness of young people for sustainable production and responsible consumerism of their clothing. The units and selected results of the surveys will be presented in the following but can also be found online (www.fashionforfuture-education.net ).
