Campaign for RE8 (CRE8) in Higher Educational Institutions
Colleges are where trends take off, voices get louder, and culture gets redefined. Through CSM & Fairtrade India’s Campaign for RE8 (CRE8), higher educational institutions can become the epicenters of sustainable fashion activism—powered by youth energy, creativity, and collective action.
This isn’t just awareness—it’s action. Through exciting campaigns, festivals, and games rooted in the 8 REs, students and faculty can co-create a bold, fun, and future-facing fashion revolution right on campus.
RE8 Campus Campaigns & Activities
The RE8 Style Lab
Launch a week-long campus-wide challenge where students document how they rethink, refuse, reduce, reuse, and more—through photos, reels, thrift hauls, and DIY creations. The best submissions get spotlighted!
REfix Studio Pop-Up
A repair-and-rewear booth hosted by the college eco club, fashion society, or student union—offering free mending, styling help, and fashion hacks. Pair it with workshops by local artisans or alumni designers.
The 360° Closet Challenge
Organize a massive wardrobe swap + donation drive + styling session. Students bring clothes, share stories, and co-create outfits from donated pieces. Add a “Before/After” photo wall!
Upcycle Hackathon
Students from fashion, design, and sustainability clubs form teams to reinvent discarded clothes or textiles into functional or wearable art. Pitch their concepts to a panel—think: Project Runway meets climate action.
MyFashionFootprint Campaign
Students calculate their fashion impact, make style pledges (like no new buys for a month), and post RE8-aligned lifestyle shifts on social media. Bonus: host a digital wall of impact in the student lounge.
Fashion for Future Talks
Organize interactive talks with ethical designers, climate activists, slow fashion influencers, or even garment workers. Make space for reflection, discussion, and next-gen leadership.
