Denmark set to host Youth Fashion Summit

A Youth Fashion Summit will take place in Denmark from May 9 to 10, 2017. This will attract students from around the world. Young talents will engage in discussions about the industry they will soon inherit and how to address the major problems of fashion manufacturing and consumption. They will draft and negotiate the first-ever United Nations resolution on fashion.

The resolution will be negotiated with industry leaders such as H&M and Swarovski and NGOs such as Greenpeace before being presented on stage at Copenhagen Fashion Summit on May 11. Later this year, the resolution will be presented to the UN in New York. The Youth Fashion Summit is a collaboration between Global Fashion Agenda and the Copenhagen School of Design and Technology in partnership with Swarovski.

At last year's Youth Fashion Summit, students explored how the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals represent opportunities for companies to align their sustainability goals with broader societal aims: from gender equality and poverty reduction to responsible consumption and climate action.

Educators and fashion education leaders will meet prior to Copenhagen Fashion Summit for their respective events, Educators Summit and Academic Leaders Roundtable. While Educators Summit is a platform for teachers to exchange ideas and experiences on how to effectively teach sustainability and build a strong international network around it, Academic Leaders Roundtable convenes the most influential decision-makers from across fashion education, industry and non-governmental organizations for an intimate discussion informing the development of sustainability in global fashion.
