Sustainable Clothing Lecture by Stricters

The fashion industry is the second largest polluter in the world. Next to that, the working conditions of factory workers are inhumane most of the time. Stricters is a clothing webshop, and they’re taking an active role in changing the industry by producing clothing sustainably and ethically. The founder of Stricters, Jasper Bringsken, will come to our university to talk about the fashion industry and sustainability, the impact of second-hand clothing, and more.  

Vegan Cooking Workshop

Vegan Student Association Eindhoven is one of the 10 VSAs in the Netherlands. They are a community for students living or studying in Eindhoven who are interested in veganism. 

This evening they will share some of their expertise and give you a taste of the vegan lifestyle! We will all cook together, in the Common Room. They will show you how to make a delicious vegan dish. You can follow along with them, so you can enjoy this dish as well! 

Clothing Swap

It’s time to finally declutter your wardrobe!

The fashion industry is one of the most polluting industries in the world. Each second, one garbage truck of textiles is dumped into landfills or burned. One small step you can take against this issue is to choose to buy second-hand items, and this is why the Clothing Swap is the best chance to get nice items from fellow students and contribute to circularity. Handing in the clothes is possible on tuesday, and untill 13.30 on the other days.  You will get a coupon that you can use to pick a new item from all the collected clothes. This can be done at anytime. It is also possible to pick items without handing in anything. Than you need to do a small payment that will go to the voedselbank.

Clothing Repair Workshop

Join this workshop to fix your clothes! We will approach repairing garments (or other textile articles such as bags or hats) in a super easy way, so absolutely no prior experience with sewing is required. The most important thing is that you learn how you can easily fix your clothes by yourself, instead of having to purchase a new item – and support an industry that is not the best in terms of sustainability and human rights. During this two hour workshop you’ll learn the skills you need to fix your clothes, and you’ll leave with a mending kit so you can continue this sustainable practice in the future!
