Abstract

The Connect Project provided a collaborative educational experience that debated the challenges of environmental impacts, over-consumption and ethics in the global apparel industry. Bringing together four universities in the United States, United Kingdom, China and Australia in a live project, it engaged academics, students and professionals from around the world in participatory learning toward the importance of sustainable innovation.
