We offer a dynamic and interactive workshop designed for primary and secondary school students to explore these questions. Through engaging activities and hands-on examples, students will: • Discover the Journey of Textiles: Follow the fascinating process from thread creation to finished fabric. • Explore Different Fabrics: Get an up-close look at clothing and understand the differences between various textiles. • Identify Materials: Use samples to distinguish between natural and synthetic materials. • Reflect on Impact and Responsibility: Older students will also consider how clothing production affects the world and explore ways to make more responsible choices. Key Takeaways: • Insights into how clothes are created. • An understanding of yarns, textiles, and their production. • Knowledge of the differences between natural and synthetic materials. • Awareness of textile production’s impact on the environment and actionable steps students can take. Duration: 45 minutes Available in Czech or English.
