Fashion Business Education for Social Change: Creating impact through Case Teaching and Lego® Serious Play®

Fashion is both an easily accessible subject and an extremely complex global system built on an unjust foundation. Integrating ethical business practices and sustainability literacies into engaging teaching and learning experiences is a priority for fashion and business schools, yet many educators struggle to engage meaningfully with Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). More than ever before, fashion education needs to address environmental degradation and social injustice.

This Lego® Serious Play® workshop, led by award-winning educators, provides a range of insights, information, demonstration and resources necessary for participants to write their own sustainable fashion case study, relevant to their specific area and cultural context. A range of innovative and impactful pedagogies drawn from the UN-supported initiative Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) Impactful Five (i5) Playbook are utilised, giving participants a hands-on opportunity to understand and adapt research-based pedagogies for responsible leadership.
