In light of current politics, we feel a strong need for community and solidarity. We have decided to organize a spontaneous Multilogue, a "Current Hour" to create room for community exchange and enablement on fashion education for democracy and social & educational justice. We would love for you to be involved.
what: The Digital Multilogue on Fashion Education / Current Hour: Come Together – a world workshop on fashion education for democracy and social & educational justice
when: Friday 4 April, 6-8pm (CEST)
where: online,
how: world café format: interactive, outcome-oriented, facilitated call-to-reflection and action, with brief provocations / calls-to-action from different global perspectives
why: Many of us are alarmed and directly concerned by austerity measures in education in connection with the rise of the far right, and the weakening of global democratic initiatives for social, climate and educational justice. The current degradation of the US federal government by Trump and Musk is further contributing to and converging social, democratic and climate crises globally.
This DM FE Current Hour world workshop facilitates community and solidarity – a global exchange to inspire mutual learning, collaborative thinking and shared action.
Come together:
to listen to each other in our local concerns, questions and critiques
to share strategies and solutions
to solidarize and support each other
to develop new connections and actions
We look forward to building and sharing this space with you.
