VOICE Ireland is an environmental NGO who’s mission is to reduce waste and promote circular economy. Fabric of Change, the very website you're currently on is a space for learning, reflecting, and reimagining how we interact with clothes. Built by VOICE, this platform is here to help you explore the global issues tied to the fashion industry and take practical steps toward a more sustainable future.
What Is Fabric of Change?
Fabric of Change is more than a resource; it’s an invitation to rethink fashion. Here, you can:
- Learn: Dive into the environmental and social challenges of the fashion industry.
- Take Action: Find simple, actionable ways to reduce your fashion footprint and build habits that last.
- Imagine: Picture a world where sufficiency, circularity, and wellbeing shape the way we live and dress.
Workshops That Make a Difference
To bring these ideas to life, we offer workshops for schools, workplaces, and community groups. These sessions are interactive and thought-provoking, designed to spark conversations and inspire practical change.
What You Can Expect:
- A Fresh Perspective: Learn about the lifecycle of clothing—from raw materials to disposal—and the impact of every stage.
- Hands-On Activities: Take part in exercises that help you rethink clothing choices and develop greener habits.
- A Holistic View: While the focus is on textiles, the approach we use applies to other areas of life too, encouraging a broader shift toward sustainability.
Beyond the Workshops
This workshop is part of a wider offering from VOICE Ireland. We also runs workshops on other pressing issues, such as food waste and plastic reduction.
Our workshops can be seen as a series of interconnected sessions that build a comprehensive understanding of what sustainability is about today. By exploring the waste streams we interact with daily—from food to plastics to textiles—participants can trace the roots of overproduction and overconsumption.
Together, we delve into the systemic changes needed to address these issues and empower individuals to become part of the solution.
