Ten GCSE and A-level art students visited the Caritas Lët'z Refashion shop, exhibition and workshop in Luxembourg city centre on 18th October.

The space is hosting a temporary exhibition by The Revival, a movement founded in Ghana that is raising awareness of the  problems the country is facing with unwanted clothes going to landfill and polluting beaches. The movement promotes reusing and repairing clothes to give them a new purpose.

The representatives gave inspiring stories and shared a video and photo exhibition. The students had discussions about consumerism and fast fashion, and the urgency of finding alternative solutions to slow down the effects of climate change.

Students then engaged in a practical workshop, learning techniques to transform old T-shirts and jeans into new clothes and accessories.

The students and staff learned a lot from the visit and left inspired to make changes in their own lifestyles.
