CARE WHAT YOU(TH) WEAR

CARE WHAT YOU(TH) WEAR is a 2-year Erasmus+ capacity building project that aims to foster the commitment of young people from Europe and Asia to take an active role in meeting global challenges based on awareness and critical understanding of the phenomena of global interconnectedness. By bringing the issues of the global garment industry to young people, the project also aims to promote the concept of global youth work.

Toolkit for youth workers
CARE WHAT YOU(TH) WEAR

This guide is for youth workers, trainers and facilitators who run non-formal educational activities with young people and would like to work with them on global issues related to the garment industry. The guide can also be helpful for youth workers and trainers who have yet to gain experience with global issues but are looking for opportunities to acquire competencies in this field. The processes we propose here might be a great learning opportunity for them.
