Sustainable sourcing is not just essential for the
future of the environment and the people behind fashion- it also makes
commercial sense.
The
Ethical Fashion Forum is running a training series called “Spotlight on
Sourcing”, as part of our Fashion+ project, focused on how fashion can
change lives.
SCROLL DOWN TO SEE FULL PROGRAMME
All events are an opportunity to make valuable contacts to facilitate sustainable sourcing. To support this, we have created a social networking site so that all event participants can make contact before and after events. Registration for any event will give you an invite to join the online forum specific to the topic of the event.
The series includes:
Evening seminars on the 3rd Tuesday of every month (excluding fashion weeks) featuring presentations by leading practitioners and experts, updates from suppliers, and structured networking.
Register for each evening seminar separately for £10,
or for the whole year , (9 sessions) for £70 plus free membership of
the Ethical Fashion Forum.
In addition, the Ethical Fashion Forum will be running masterclasses to allow you to focus and work through sourcing challenges faced by your business, and cost from £25 to attend. This £70 offer includes registration for evening seminars and access to social network, but not masterclasses, which need to be paid for separately.
