Spotlight on Sourcing: 1 year seminar series

Sourcing to sustainable standards is a challenge. It is also the main reason why the Ethical Fashion Forum gets more than 100 requests for information every week.In response, the Ethical Fashion Forum is running a seminar series called “Spotlight on Sourcing”, as part of our Fashion+ project, focused on how fashion can change lives.Register for each evening seminar separately for £10,  or for the whole year , (9 sessions) for £70 plus free membership of the Ethical Fashion Forum.The series includes:1. Evening seminars on the 3rd Tuesday of every month (excluding fashion weeks) featuring presentations by leading practitioners and experts, updates from suppliers, and structured networking. 2. Workshops for smaller groups, going into more depth on each of the issues raised by seminars. Run by experts and practitioners.All events are an opportunity to make valuable contacts to facilitate sustainable sourcing. To support this, we have created a social networking site so that all event participants can make contact before and after events. Registration for any event will give you an invite to join the online forum.Spotlight on Sourcing Programme 200920th January , 6.30-8.30, Rich Mix Seminar: Sustainable fabrics & components REGISTER NOWFebruary Seminar programme at Pure and surgeries at Estethica- join the mailing list for updates17th March 2-5pm Workshop- sustainable fabrics & components REGISTER NOW6.30-8.30 Seminar - Sustainable manufacture- getting it right REGISTER NOW21st April 2-5pm Workshop: Sustainable manufacture- getting it right  REGISTER NOW6.30-8.30 Seminar and networking: Working with small cooperativesREGISTER NOW19th May Workshop: Working with small cooperatives REGISTER NOWWORKSHOPS AND SEMINARS FROM MAYWorkshops and seminars will take place on the 19th May, 23rd June, 21st July, and 18th August.We would like to take your lead on the content of these workshops and seminars.The following topics have been suggested:  Certifications and standards Sourcing from China Sourcing from Africa Sourcing from IndiaPlease send an email to info@ethicalfashionforum.com to register your interest in any of these of to make other suggestions.Fashion+  is a DfID funded project aimed at reducing poverty and creating sustainable livelihoods in the supply chains to the UK fashion industry.The project will do this through:1.Increasing understanding of development issues amongst fashion professionals, in particular the opportunities for poverty reduction2.Providing the tools and resources fashion professionals need to make informed choices in their working rolesThe project aims to integrate training on development, poverty reduction and sustainable livelihood creation as a core part of all fashion business training in the UK
