Svestiamo lo spreco!Cosa c’è dietro i nostri vestiti

On 24 November 2026, students serving as environmental representatives for second-year classes at Istituto Copernico-Pasoli in Verona will take part in “Svestiamo lo spreco! What lies behind our clothes?” The morning will explore textile waste, clothing fibres, microplastics and dyes through three hands-on workshops, run in small rotating groups: making colour from natural dyes and fibres; upcycling a used garment; and learning to read clothing labels and identify textile composition. The programme will also introduce the environmental and social impacts of fashion and fast fashion. Students will bring a garment to transform, putting waste prevention and reuse into practice. The action is organised with WWF Veronese, the City of Verona’s Centre for Creative Reuse and Sustainability, and the STEI school network, as part of the SCAMBIAmoLO project, co-funded by the University of Verona and Fondazione Cariverona.
