School activities
Our team has cherished the opportunity to visit your schools and connect with your students through our school activities. These opportunities have expanded Redress’s impact across Hong Kong, and we are incredibly grateful for the warm welcome you have always shown us.
However, due to reduced funding, we have had to make the difficult decision to discontinue our free school talks starting in the 2026/2027 academic year. Starting from July 2026, we remain committed to supporting you and your students by providing:
- FREE resources: our school talk slides, modules, videos and activities made available for you online, so that you can deliver the content to your students
- Warehouse and Clothes Sorting Workshop: $500/student
- School talk: $5000/session
Send us an email with your choice of school talk or warehouse clothes sorting workshop with a date and time to enquire about availability.

Free School Resources
Over the years, our school team has developed talks, presentation slides and online modules around subjects related to fashion and the environmental impact. They were carefully designed to be age appropriate and interactive. By offering these polished materials at no cost, they are effectively giving teachers the product of immense professional dedication, designed to bypass the struggle of curriculum development and allow educators to focus entirely on their students. Teachers can now download our free educational resources by clicking the respective icons below.
Slides for our educational talks saved in PDF for teachers or student leaders to use on campus. Speaker notes included for data, resources and key messaging to help you self learn and prepare for your school talk.
We have 8 slides with different topics, languages and age ranges for each one. Choose the one that matches your student’s age level and curriculum needs.
We have a set of 7 modules with individual topics that explains the relationship of fashion and water, land, oil and climate crisis. They add up to explain the complexity of the environmental impact that our clothes have on the world.
Our modules are carefully written with students in mind, thoroughly explaining phenomenons with supportive data and references.
“Our Jeans and the Planet” is an online game that aims to showcase how design decisions impact the sustainability of denim jeans at every stage, from sourcing to manufacturing and use.
You will learn about the different environmental impacts of creating denim jeans, as well as the innovations that are transforming the industry. This activity is part of the ‘MAKE’ circular strategy, with a focus on designing for low impact materials and processes.
A collection of online videos carefully selected from reputable sources to provide key coverage on topics related to circular fashion, environmental impact and consumer behaviour.
Examples of student lead projects interviewing designers and local customers give a candid reflection on the current overconsumption and overproduction scene.
Uncover circular fashion in action by exploring the impact of different projects around the world. For example, how an ideal cotton T-shirt is made and used in a circular system, plus discover how Redress Alumni are already showcasing possibilities.
In another case study, designer Cris Miranda walks us through the realities of the secondhand clothing trade in Chile, where garments are often abandoned in illegal landfills scattered across the Atacama Desert.
Redress’s SDG guide explains fashion and its complex value chains offering employment, from tills at retailers to tillers at the farmland. Meanwhile, tragically, the industry is one of the world’s most polluting sectors.
However, on the positive side, given its large environmental and social footprint, the fashion industry has an immense opportunity to make outsized positive contributions to our world, including how circular fashion approaches can relate to the all-important Sustainable Development Goals.

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 gathers 120+ corporates, clubs, organisations and schools to raise awareness about the environmental impact of our clothing choices and shift attitudes and habits towards reducing clothing waste.
We will continue to include schools in our city-wide clothing drive for free. This is through funding we receive from the corporate participants. Each signed-up school will be provided with 2 official boxes along with free drop-off and pickup services from our logistics partner.
School sign up will open in OCTOBER. Limited free spaces will be given out. Mark your calendars and be the first to apply.

“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.”
Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups
“Island School’s 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.”
Island School
“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.”
