Step 1 Imagination

I hope, with our collaboration team from Basque Country, we can find out a lot of information about the production of clothes abroad that we can't find on the internet.

I hope our triangle works well and we can support each other in our projects.

I hope that everything goes according to our plan and that we have enough informations to write an interesting and informatif project.

It would be great if clothing stores in Switzerland would agree to an interview with us to find out from where most of the clothes are imported.

It would be nice if people are more aware of the topic and maybe think about what more sustainable solutions there are.

My goal is that through our project more people become aware of the problem and pay more attention to the origin when buying clothes.

Befter Step 1: Imagination

I really hope we can do an interview with a clothing store here in Switzerland where we find out a lot of information about our project topic.

I hope that we will get the information we need from our collaboration teams and can use them good for our project.

I hope our triangle works well and we can support each other in our projects.

I hope we will find as many people as possible to participate at our survey. It will show us if people are interested in the sustainability of the clothes they buy or if they don't care about it.

I hope that our research is going on well and we will get as much information as possible.

Audio pitch: Cheap clothes production and transport

We found a topic that could be very interesting and has been polution the environment for a very long time but no one is doing anything about it. We buy so many clothes without questioning where they come from and how they are made. We would like to focus our attention on how sustainable the production and transport of cheap clothes is. We are interested in finding out how staff are treated in production companies abroad and how large the proportion of child labor is. We are also questioning how many clothes are imported to Switzerland per year and which means of transport are used. And last but not least how did shipping change in the past years.
