SCHOOL ACTIVITIES

Our education programmes with primary and secondary schools focus on driving positive behavioural change amongst Hong Kong’s youth. We aim to not just help students learn about the environmental impact of their clothing choices, but also to encourage changes in habits and get students excited about making a life-long commitment to sustainability by guiding them to reflect on the impact they can make for people, the community and the environment as consumers and future leaders. Since 2018 we have:

The Peak School

We were proud to be part of such a worthwhile cause. Firstly, Redress Day was a lot of fun whilst raising awareness to our community about how the textile industry is impacting our world. Subsequently the clothing drive has inspired a whole year level to inquire deeper into circular economy and sustainability. Redress have outdone themselves with easy to access resources for teachers and students. Thank you Redress for providing such an authentic learning experience for our entire learning community! Get Redressed Month has been a valuable learning for us all!

Island School

Island schools Elements class “Fashion Forward” participated with The Redress Clothing Drive in 2019. This worked well with their deep learning under Citizenship where they demonstrate their ability to think like global citizens, consider global issues and real-world problems that impact human and environmental sustainability. The students were inspired by their meeting with Redress, who gave an informative presentation on their work, links with other charities within Hong Kong and their support for Designers who address sustainability issues in their work.

Teacher, St. Johannes College

A very informative and interactive presentation highlighting the impact of the effect of the fashion industry on the environment. The students were all aware of Recycle but weren’t familiar with Reduce and Reuse. It was extremely worthwhile and has had a really meaningful impact on the students’ attitude.

The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups

The students at The HKFYG KK Cheng Kindergarten took part in Redress’ ‘Yoyo and the World’s Coolest T-shirt’ book reading activity. The story not only helped students learn about the different materials clothes are made from, but also taught students sustainable living tips, helping develop habits of better handling old clothing and clothes that no longer fit.

GET REDRESSED MONTH

Since its launch in 2018, Get Redressed Month has been Hong Kong’s largest consumer awareness campaign about circular fashion. Organised by Redress, this annual campaign gathered 120+ corporates, clubs, organisations and schools in 2024 to raise awareness about the environmental impact of our clothing choices and shift attitudes and habits towards reducing clothing waste.

WORKSHOPS

We provide a variety of hands-on workshops to teach students how to extend the life of clothing through introducing fun sewing skills to repair, transform and enhance clothes. In addition, our original interactive board game ‘Our Jeans and the Planet’, will engage students to learn about the environmental and social impact of clothing production. They will investigate how each stakeholder influences the decision making in the production chain and how consumers could have an impact on the outcome.

STORYTIME (FOR LOWER PRIMARY STUDENTS)

As children grow up and outgrow their clothes, how can children sustainably dispose of these clothes? Through the fun and lively story of ‘Yoyo and the World’s Coolest T-Shirt’, Redress facilitators teach students how they can help reduce their environmental impact by sharing, repairing and upcycling their clothes. We will read excerpts from the book, followed by an interactive quiz to solidify their learning.

WAREHOUSE VISIT (FOR SENIOR SECONDARY STUDENTS)

An invaluable opportunity to bring students to our warehouse to sort clothes, seeing firsthand the waste of fashion overproduction and overconsumption. We will share about the issue of waste in the fashion industry and Redress’ work including our Takeback Programme. Students will gain hands-on experience in sorting clothes according to the categories of resale, donation, and downcycling.

REDRESS STUDENT AMBASSADOR PROGRAMME

This year, the Ambassador Programme is targeting Secondary School students in Form 4-5 in the Sham Shui Po area. Through 3 workshops in November, our ambassadors will learn about fashion’s environmental impact, sustainable entrepreneurship and restyling secondhand clothing, with support from experts in the industry. They will also experience first hand the running of a secondhand fashion business through a 1-day internship in December.
