"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams"

More and more people are dreaming of a better future for each and everyone but ...... it's not easy to step out from the dominant fast flowing destructive mainstream river called capitalism. Especially not when it concerns fashion.

So there is a gap between intention and behaviour which needs to be bridged. Beside that the sustainable (fashion) market is fragmented, you can't go to a sustainable shopping moll for example. Finding the desired shops/services can be very time consuming. Plus there are other obstacles people can meet on their way, like:

- grouppressure
- fear of the unknown
- encountering feelings of powerlessness/hopelessness]]> 2020-06-15 13:39:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ifdegraaff/bq4x1fshn3v6b1/wish/627361134 ifdegraaff https://padlet.com/ifdegraaff/bq4x1fshn3v6b1/wish/627370217 The dream is a healthy planet where every living being can  express there unique and true selves (through fashion) and flourish.

In this case being a responsible (fashion) consumer.

I like using the metaphor of going on a journey / holiday. 

To make it easy to pack your suitcase for the journey I want to bring all shops/services together on a local online platform. Imagine it to be a something like a Tourist Information Point/travel Agency  > Future Information Point (FIP)

To faciliate the psychological process of entering a new space  (lowering the threshold) I want take people on fieldtrips/excursions to company's & services etc. promoted/advertised on the FIP-platform. Before or after we can  go for a drink/lunch, at a fair place where we can chat about our fears, dreams, hopes etc.  By doing this I am also weaving different sustainable disciplines together (horeca/fashion etc.) Loose threads becoming a carpet.


And of course there will be interesting lectures (about fair fashion) to be well prepared for the journey to the future.

If people want to dive deeper (go on a trashurehunt) to find their true/unique Self/Style there will be Godess and God courses (later in the process)

Results:
- Improved leaderhip abilities of consumers (DRIFT) 

- To gain critical mass (DRIFT) > Dismantling cosumerism by reinforcing responsible consumerism. To accelerate change (for the good)]]> 2020-06-15 13:47:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ifdegraaff/bq4x1fshn3v6b1/wish/627374798 ifdegraaff https://padlet.com/ifdegraaff/bq4x1fshn3v6b1/wish/627376149
