INTRODUCING COLLEGE FELLOWSHIP
Students and graduates dedicated to sustainability principles are already playing a pivotal role in driving forward the ethical fashion movement.
In order to facilitate access by students to the SOURCE platform and inspire and motivate increased engagement with sustainability, the Ethical Fashion Forum has launched a College Fellowship initiative, partnering with colleges to offer low cost access to all components of the SOURCE to students.
College Fellowship is part of the EFF’s Fellowship 500 scheme, designed to unite 500 pioneering innovators in the fashion sector, to take the movement to the next level. The EFF is seeking to engage 21 Colleges with this Fellowship scheme during 2012.
Colleges subscribe to the SOURCE on behalf of students at a fraction of the cost of individual subscription. The Ethical Fashion Forum offers a reduced rate subscription option for Colleges that support the goals of EFF’s Fellowship 500 scheme and encourage active engagement by students with sustainability and poverty reduction through fashion.
A limited number of Fellowship rate subscriptions will be offered to exemplary Colleges every year.
BENEFITS FOR COLLEGE SUBSCRIBERS:

• Opportunity for “Twinning” of the College with exemplary fair trade or ethical suppliers/ supplier networks and foundations in the developing world, encouraging students to learn more about them or support them through projects /events
