About this resource

Fashion Fictions for Children is a new resource pack designed for teachers and facilitators working in formal and informal settings with children aged 7-14. Fashion Fictions brings imagination, playfulness and hands-on exploration to education for sustainability. The resource pack offers a series of activities that invite children to imagine, explore and enact fictional worlds in which we live differently with our clothes. Through these playful, creative activities their eyes and minds can be opened to possibilities and pathways to sustainable change in the real world. The activities can be combined in many different ways to suit different age groups, timescales and settings. Bursaries of £150 are currently being offered for teachers and facilitators to try out the resource with different groups (application deadline 31 Jan 2025).
