The idea for the non-profit association Future Fashion Forward e.V. emerged from the global campaign Fashion Revolution as well as from the need for a platform to provide information to final consumers about the global fashion industry such as opacity, exploitation and environmental damages. FFF e.V. has established an information and knowledge pool providing educational packages for schools, universities and their trainers, organizing conferences, talks, lectures. For FFF e.V. educational trainings focus on interactivity. Through activities such as Green Fashion Tours, Circular Economy Tours, hands-on workshops or design thinking sessions the target groups have the possibility to personally experience positive examples directly from the change makers of the fashion industry. These activities empower the participants to reflect on their consumption habits and to understand their role in the fashion supply chain.

The majority of our members have had firsthand experience with issues concerning the working and living conditions of textile workers in the manufacturing countries and share a comprehensive knowledge on alternative and sustainable fabric sourcing solutions. On top of that we have been able to gain valuable campaigning experience with three very successful years of organizing the campaign Fashion Revolution Germany. Skills and expertise of people involved in the project: - Creation and realization of educational modules for schools and universities (e.g. practical workshops, guided tours, design thinking workshops, lectures and trainings..) _ - Ideation of specialized trainings for teachers of primary schools - Communication, Cooperation & Consultancy for sustainable circularity models and the global textile supply chain - Project development focused on finding innovative solutions to inform and reach the end consumer

- Organization and event management for flash mobs, clothing swaps and major live events
