From fast to slow fashion game offers up-to-date information about the central disadvantages, state of ethics, human right violations, environmental harm created and all the other issues and wicked problems in the fast fashion environment. The goal of the game is to encourage the players to towards critical thinking and imagining different futures for the whole industry – not to forget the fact that players get also to think about how they can influence the course of the future with their own actions. Although the topic is serious, the game is not intended to discourage. The idea is to first understand the wicked issues related to the whole fashion industry and then imagine more sustainable ways to produce textile fibres, manufacture and distribute clothes, sell and keep the fashion pieces longer in use and in the end how to recycle them in a circular manner.
